WPA* (Wi Fi Protected Access) authorizes and identifies users based on a secret key that changes automatically at a regular interval, for example:
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), in conjunction with a RADIUS server, changes the temporal key every 10,000 packets, ensuring greater security
Pre Shared Key mode means that the home user, without a RADIUS server, will obtain a new security key every time the he or she connects to the network, vastly improving the safety of communications on the network.
802.1x Authentication in conjunction with the radius server verifies the identity of would be clients
Utilizes OFDM technology (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)
Operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range
