WPA/WPA2 
WPA encrypts all traffic between the access point and the client using either TKIP or AES 
encryption. Depending on the authentication protocol selected, each client must authenticate 
using their own unique username, password, and security certificate. 
 
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK 
WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is a compromise between WPA/WPA2 and WEP. Like WEP, it uses a 
pre-shared key that every user of the network must have in order to send and receive data. Like 
WPA, it uses either TKIP or AES.
