Besides that, there are other typical LAN security mechanisms to ensure privacy, such
as: password protection, end-to-end encryption, virtual private networks, and
authentication. WPA2, the second generation of WPA, provides stronger data protection
and network access control and is also designed to secure all versions of 802.11
devices, including 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n standards, multi-band and
multi-mode. In addition, based on the ratified IEEE 802.11i standard, WPA2 provides
government grade security by implementing the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) FIPS 140-2 compliant AES encryption algorithm and 802.1X-based
authentication. WPA2 is backward compatible with WPA.
