Explanation:
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA / WPA2) is a class of systems to secure wireless computer networks. It
implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and is designed to work with all wireless
network interface cards (but not necessarily with first generation wireless access points).
One major improvement in WPA over WEP is the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which
dynamically changes keys as the system is used.
