Section 3 - Configuration Wireless Security Wireless security is a key concern for any wireless network installed. Unlike any other networking method wireless networks will broadcast it’s presence for anyone to connect to it. Today, wireless security has advanced to a level where it is virtually impenetrable. There are mainly two forms of wireless encryption and they are called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). WEP was the first security method developed.
Section 3 - Configuration Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA / WPA2) WPA was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to address the limitations and weaknesses found in WEP. This protocol is mainly based on the 802.11i standard. There are also two variations found in WPA called WPA-Personal (PSK) and WPA-Enterprise (EAP). WPA-EAP requires the user to install a Radius Server on the network for authentication. WPA-Personal does not require the user to install a Radius Server on the network.
