Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) builds upon WPA, which makes them very similar. Both support identical Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) types in an enterprise environment, as well as allowing pre-shared keys (PSKs). Group key transmission is performed by the two-way handshake, while the four-way handshake is used for unicast generation.
The main differences are as follows:
- WPA requires Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), and it supports Advanced Encryption System (AES), which provides a stronger encryption
- WPA2 requires AES, and it does not support TKIP
The three main methods of encryption for 802.11 wireless networks are the following: # WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) # WPA (WiFi Protected Access) # WPA2 (WiFi Protected Acess)
WEP, WPA, and WPA2.
- WPA requires Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), and it supports Advanced Encryption System (AES), which provides a stronger encryption - WPA2 requires AES, and it does not support TKIP
WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc, are just encryption protocols.WEP is by far the easiest for hackers to break literally in seconds to minutes. WPA is much better but is slowly getting easier to crack, WPA2 Personal is the best you can use now for the consumer. Some fairly older wireless devices may not support WPA2 tho. At the very least use WPA with a long random password if you can't use WPA2.
authentication through RADIUS
Yes. WEP is easily hackable.
It depends on the game. Most games currently don't support WPA/WPA2. And I agree; I don't know why the game does not follow the configuration setup from the DS itself. So even if you have a DSi that supports WPA/WPA2, if you have a game that does not support it, it won't work.
It is to replaced WPA which requires testing and certification by Wi-Fi alliance. WPA2 is to provide a Wi-fi protection for users, a security technology.
It should be Wireless, somewhere in Security for wireless networks.
WPA, which stands for Wi-fi Protected Access.WEP, which stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy.Therefore, It just depends on the type of network you have. You seem to have a wireless network, so a WPA Encryption would be best until the IEEE's 802.11i standard encryption comes out.
No problem - just use wireless security. (WEP WPA or WPA2)
It launches subsystems responsible for running your Dlink hardware. Its what enables you to use WPA/WPA2 encrypted networks.
