Introduction
• The Wi-fi Protected Access is mainly the security standard that is set
for handling the users of computing the devices. (Au, 2016)
• It is mainly equipped with a proper wireless internet connection that is
mainly to improve the security standards and the sophisticated data
encryption.

Objective
WPA: WPA is mainly for handling the message integrity
check, with extended initialisation vector and re-keying
mechanism.
How does it work: It works on the Remote
Authentication Dial in User Service with access to the
device credentials so that the users can be
authenticated before they are connected to the network.
Where is it used: configuring security on home
networks, office etc.
Pros & Cons: It provides a better and stronger user
authentication like RADIUS to authenticate the user. The

What is WPA
•It is a security protocol which has been for creating a
secured wireless network.
•They tend to offer the improvement with handling
security keys and working on the systems on the
beginning and end of data transfer. (Linkola et al.,
2016).
•The standards are set for using the temporal key
integrity protocol that prevents the intruders from
creating own encryption key to match by secured
network.
