WPA WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access - authorizes and

identiﬁes users based on a secret key that changes automatically

at a pre-deﬁned interval. This is called TKIP (Temporal Key

Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal key every 10,000

packets (= unit of data.) Keys can either be pre-shared or

established by a RADIUS Server.

RADIUS RADIUS is part of 802.11i security; this is a wireless standard

which is only concerned with wireless security standards.

Authentication is based around a secure server with a challenge-

and-response method of interaction which veriﬁes the identity

of the client wishing to connect to the network. If you wish to

connect to a RADIUS server ask the Network Administrator for

details. RADIUS servers are not usually used as part of home

networks.
