method to WPA for wireless networks that provides stronger data

 

protection and network access control. It provides enterprise and consumer

 

Wi-Fi users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can

 

access their wireless networks. There are two versions of WPA2: WPA2-

 

Enterprise, and WPA2-Personal. WPA2-Enterprise verifies network users

 

through a server. WPA2-Personal protects unauthorized network access

 

by utilizing a set-up password. For environments without a Remote

 

Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) infrastructure such as

 

small office/home office (SOHO) networks, WPA2-Personal supports the

 

use of a pre-shared key (PSK).

 

WPA2-PSKis short for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2-Pre-Shared Key. WPA2-

 

Personal supports PSK(pre-shared key). WPA-PSKand WPA2-PSKare

 

special modes designed for small office/home office users who do not have

 

access to the network authentication servers.
