Understanding WPA-PSK Encryption Security
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is wireless security with far greater protection than WEP.
WPS-PSK (pre-shared key) uses encryption of a shared key as the starting point. WPA has a
significant advantages over WEP — an encryption key differing in every packet. It is extremely
difficult for hackers to read messages even if they have intercepted the data.
The Passphrase must be 8 to 64 characters in length. The 256 bit key used for encryption is
generated from this passphrase. Please refer to “WPA Wireless Security” on page C-8 for more
information on WPA-PSK security.
