WPA Wi-Fi Protected Access is a Wi-Fi security standard that provides a high
level of wireless network security. It uses data encryption through the
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys and
ensures that the keys are not tampered with. User authentication is
performed through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), to
ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.
