WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), a Wi-Fi standard, is a 
more recent wireless encryption scheme, designed to 
improve the security features of WEP. It applies more 
powerful encryption types (such as TKIP [Temporal Key 
Integrity Protocol] or AES [Advanced Encryption 
Standard]) and can change the keys dynamically on 
every authorized wireless device.
