本文探讨了WiFi Protected Access (WPA)及其预共享密钥(WPA-PSK)形式作为比WEP更强大的无线网络安全技术。WPA提供强大的数据保护，采用128位加密和动态会话密钥来确保隐私和企业级安全。文章对比了WPA企业版与个人版的不同，并讨论了WPA-PSK认证机制中使用的单个密码对于网络接入验证的重要性。
WiFi Protected Access, Pre-Shared Key
WPA is a more powerful security technology for Wi-Fi networks than WEP. It provides strong data protection by using encryption as well as strong access controls and user authentication. WPA utilizes 128-bit encryption keys and dynamic session keys to ensure your wireless network's privacy and enterprise security.
There are two basic forms of WPA:
• WPA Enterprise (requires a Radius server)
• WPA Personal (also known as WPA-PSK)
Either can use TKIP or AES for encryption. Not all WPA hardware supports AES.
WPA-PSK is basically an authentication mechanism in which users provide some form of credentials to verify that they should be allowed access to a network. This requires a single password entered into each WLAN node (Access Points, Wireless Routers, client adapters, bridges). As long as the passwords match, a client will be granted access to a WLAN.
Encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same. The only difference between the two is in WPA-PSK, authentication is reduced to a simple common password, instead of user-specific credentials.
The Pre-Shared Key (PSK) mode of WPA is considered vulnerable to the same risks as any other shared password system - dictionary attacks for example. Another issue may be key management difficulties such as removing a user once access has been granted where the key is shared among multiple users, not likely in a home environment.
