WIRELESS NEWS: Advances in WPA2 solutions worth a check

By Daily Wireless Updates, Power by Cogni360

Daily Wireless News & Updates.- There are two kinds of Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2): WPA Enterprise (an almost finished implementation of the IEEE 802.11i spec for large enterprises that can host RADIUS services and lots of support staff) and WPA Home (a lighter approach that's a bit less secure and easy to set up). That's the main reason that WPA Home is also being used within enterprises today, and the Wi-Fi Alliance has renamed it WPA Personal. The alliance is also reviewing ways to make management easier with both flavors, though automation of today's current manual key transfer work isn't going to be easy. But there has been some vendor headway that is worth checking out such as Broadcom's Secure Easy Setup (SES). For more telecom news go to: Telecommunicate and Daily WiFi News.
