WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal Is Directed at Home Users Who Do Not Have The Server Based

WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal are wireless security protocols for home networks that use a pre-shared key for authentication between wireless devices and routers. Once the key is confirmed, access is granted. WPA-Personal uses TKIP encryption with per-packet hashing and integrity checking, while WPA2-Personal is superior with its use of the more secure AES encryption standard.

WPA-Personal and WPA2-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. WPA2-Personal is far superior to WPA-Personal,
because the encryption of data is upgraded with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
