WPA Support
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a standards-based, interoperable security certification that greatly
increases the level of data protection and access control for existing and future wireless LAN systems.
It is derived from and is compatible with the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA leverages Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and Michael message integrity check (MIC) for data protection and 802.1X
for authenticated key management. WPA is supported by the Cisco Wireless Security Suite.

for authenticated key management. WPA is supported by the Cisco Wireless Security Suite.
Using WPA key management, clients and the authentication server authenticate to each other using an
EAP authentication method, and the client and server generate a pairwise master key (PMK). The server
generates the PMK dynamically and passes it to the access point.

If you configure your client adapter through ACU, only 350 series cards that are installed in Windows
CE .NET 4.2 devices and running LEAP or EAP-FAST authentication can be used with WPA. Two
Network Security Type options, LEAP(WPA) and EAP-FAST(WPA), have been added to the Properties
window in ACU. Refer to the Cisco Aironet 350 Series Wireless LAN Client Adapters Installation and
Configuration Guide for Windows CE (part number OL-1375-05) for instructions on enabling WPA with
LEAP or EAP-FAST.

If you configure your client adapter through Windows CE .NET (rather than through ACU) and want to
enable WPA, you must use a Windows CE .NET 4.2 device, and the device manufacturer must have
included the WPA supplicant in its operating system build.

Note
WPA must also be enabled on the access point. Access points must use Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)JA
or later to enable WPA. Refer to the documentation for your access point for instructions on enabling
this feature.
