Specifications

With TKIP, WPA uses 48-bit initialization vectors, calculates an 8-byte message integrity

code, and generates an encryption key periodically. For authentication, it allows you to use

802.1x authentication for an environment with a RADIUS server installed on your network.

Selecting the Pre-shared Key enables WPA to use the pre-shared key in a SOHO network.

See the description of the WPA settings below.
