There are two versions of WPA2: WPA2Personal, and WPA2- Enterprise. WPA2-Personal protects unauthorized network access by utilizing a set-up password.
2 ƖWPA-AUTO WPA-PSK is short for Wi-Fi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key. WPA-PSK uses the same encryption way with WPA, and the only difference between them is that WPA-PSK recreates a simple shared key, instead of using the userŅs certification.
2 œPSK/EAPĈPSK – Short for Pre-shared Key. It is the use of secret passwords or encryption keys that are entered into both sides of the message exchange ahead of time. Pre-shared keys (PSK) are typed into the clients and servers (authentication servers, access points, etc.) or entered via floppy, CD-ROM or smart card. Contrast with "serverbased keys," in which one side generates a key and sends it to the other side during the authentication session. EAP – Short for Extensible Authentication Protocol.
