4.6.2WPA

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an encryption security option designed to improve upon the features of WEP. It employs Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to scramble the keys using a hash algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys have not been tampered with. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate wireless connections. The key is an alphanumeric password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can also be symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. In addition, WPA/WPA2 includes Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to ensure only authorized network users can access the network.
