Securing WLAN from WEP to WPA

abstruse

Over the past year, many Wi-Fi Alliance members and their customers have become
increasingly concerned about the vulnerabilities of Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), the
basic mechanism to date for interoperable security in Wi-Fi CERTIFIED products.  In
response, the Wi-Fi Alliance in conjunction with the IEEE, has driven an effort to bring
strongly enhanced, interoperable Wi-Fi security to market in the first quarter of 2003.
The result of this effort is Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).

Wi-Fi Protected Access is a specification of standards-based, interoperable security
enhancements that strongly increase the level of data protection and access control for
existing and future wireless LAN systems.  Designed to run on existing hardware as a
software upgrade, Wi-Fi Protected Access is derived from and will be forward-
compatible with the upcoming IEEE 802.11i standard.  When properly installed, it will
provide wireless LAN users with a high level of assurance that their data will remain
protected and that only authorized network users can access the network.  The Wi-Fi
Alliance plans to begin interoperability certification testing on Wi-Fi Protected Access
products starting in February 2003.
WPA must be supported now!
