Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), as defined by the IEEE 802.11i specification, addresses the encryption part of the wireless security equation. (A different part of 802.11i addresses the ...

Using WPA on your phone. Wi-Fi Protected Access is a Wi-Fi security technology developed in response to the weaknesses of Wired Equivalent Privacy standards. It ...

I read that a WPA implementation in a SOHO setting doesn't require an authentication server, instead a mode called "pre-shared key" will be used. How could this be more secure than WEP, since it can ...

WPA brings several security improvements to the airwaves. WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which replaces WEP's 40-bit static key with a 128-bit dynamically assigned key. That ...

Anyone developing wireless LAN (WLAN) systems knows the security problem created by the wired equivalency protocol (WEP). The bigger issue designers must wrestle with is how to solve the problems ...

Find out how WPA and WPA2 improve upon WEP's encryption methods for better wireless security. The previous tip in this series on wireless encryption methods explained how WEP works. By 2001, hacker ...

CONVENTIONAL WISDOM says wireless LAN access to an enterprise adds enormous risk because the broken security model at the heart of Wi-Fi networking allows crackers to break encryption, snoop traffic, ...
