WPA and WPA2

• WPA (Wifi Protected Access) was prepared by the IEEE as an immediate and intermediate setup to address the limitations in WEP.

• The full 802.11i standard when available was implemented by devices with WPA2 logo compliance

• Unfortunately there are a range of implementations.

• • Older devices that only support WEP,
  • Standard Windows XP machines that can support WEP or WPA
  • Systems with new drivers that support WPA2
  • ETC
