WPA

WPA is short for Wi-Fi Protected Access. It was designed to improve upon the security features of WEP. The technology is designed to work with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP. Through the data encryption, access control and authentication, it provides better protection over data transmission. WPA uses 128-digit keys to ensure the wireless network privacy and security.
