WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

Wi-Fi Protected Access was designed to provide improved data encryption, perceived as weak in WEP, and to provide
user authentication, largely nonexistent in WEP.

For most small networks, such as in a small business or home-based enterprise, WPA is the easiest way to obtain
effective network security. Of the three options in WPA, PSK String is the easiest to implement.
