Wpa

WPA	WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access - authorizes and
	identiﬁes users based on a secret key that changes automatically
	at a pre-deﬁned interval. This is called TKIP (Temporal Key
	Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal key every 10,000
	packets (= unit of data.) Keys can either be pre-shared or
	established by a RADIUS Server.
RADIUS	RADIUS is part of 802.11i security; this is a wireless standard
	which is only concerned with wireless security standards.
	Authentication is based around a secure server with a challenge-
	and-response method of interaction which veriﬁes the identity
	of the client wishing to connect to the network. If you wish to
	connect to a RADIUS server ask the Network Administrator for
	details. RADIUS servers are not usually used as part of home
	networks.
