Appendix
WPA-PSK:
WPA-Personal is directed at home users who do not have the server based equipment
required for user authentication. The method of authentication is similar to WEP because
you define a “Pre-Shared Key” on the wireless router/AP. Once the pre-shared key is
confirmed and satisfied on both the client and access point, then access is granted. the
encryption method used is referred to as the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which
offers per-packet dynamic hashing. It also includes an integrity checking feature which
ensures that the packets were not tampered with during wireless transmission.
