WPA 

WPA is the short term for WiFi Protected Access. WPA is an industry-supported, pre-

standard version of 802.11i that utilizes the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which 

fixes the problems of WEP, which includes using dynamic keys. WPA uses a sophisticated 

key hierarchy that generates new encryption keys each time a mobile device establishes 

itself with an Access Point. Protocols including 802.1X, EAP, and RADIUS are used for 

strong authentication. Like WEP, keys can still be entered manually (pre-shared keys); 

however, using a RADIUS authentication server provides automatic key generation and 

enterprise-wide authentication. WPA uses temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP) for data 

encryption. WPA2, also known as 802.11i, uses advanced encryption standard counter 

mode CBC-MAC protocol (AES-CCMP) for data encryption.
