WMM
Wireless Multimedia (WMM) is a
technology standard designed to improve the quality of audio, video
and multimedia applications on a wireless network. Both access points and wireless clients (laptops,
consumer electronics products) can be WMM-enabled. WMM features are based on is a subset of the
draft specification. Wireless products that are built to the standard and pass a set of
quality tests can carry the "Wi-Fi certified for WMM" label to ensure interoperability with other such
products. For more information, see the WMM page on the Wi-Fi Alliance We
.
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a
Alliance version of the draft
more sophisticated data encryption than
and also provides user authentication. WPA includes
and
mechanisms.
WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2) is an enhanced security standard, described in
, that uses
Advanced Encryption Standard (
) for data encryption.
The original
uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (
) for data encryption. WPA2 is backwards-
compatible with products that support the original
.
, supports an Enterprise and Personal version. The Enterprise version
requires use of IEEE
security features and Extensible Authentication Protocol (
) authentication
server.
The Personal version does not require IEEE
or
. It uses a Pre-Shared Key (
) password to
generate the keys needed for authentication.
WRAP
Wireless Robust Authentication Protocol (WRAP) is an encryption method for
but
another encryption mode
encryption and integrity.
