WPA+WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) combines temporal key integrity protocol
(TKIP) and 802.1x mechanisms. It provides dynamic key encryption and
802.1x authentication service.
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) is a product certification that is available
through the Wi-Fi Alliance. WPA2 certifies that wireless equipment is
compatible with the IEEE 802.11i standard. The WPA2 product
certification formally replaces Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and the
other security features of the original IEEE 802.11 standard. The goal of
WPA2 certification is to support the additional mandatory security features
of the IEEE 802.11i standard that are not already included for products
that support WPA.
