3-2-2 WPA-PSK Encryption
WPA is a wireless security system with far greater protection than WEP. It avoids most of WEP’s vulnerabilities. WPA has significant advantages over WEP. The encryption key
used to encrypt the data is different for every packet. This TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) mechanism shares a starting key between devices. Each device then
changes their encryption key for every packet. It is extremely difficult for hackers to read messages, even if they have intercepted the data.
