WPA Encrytion Setting
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a security
technology for wireless networks. WPA
improves on the authentication and encryption
features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).
To improve data encryption, WPA utilizes its
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP
provides important data encryption
enhancements including a per-packet key
mixing function, a message integrity check
(MIC, named Michael), an extended
initialization vector (IV) with sequencing rules,
and a re-keying mechanism.
