Estándar para asegurar redes inalámbricas 802.11. También se conoce como WPA2 y sustituye al WEP original.
IEEE 802.11i,
also known as WPA2, is an amendment to the 802.11 standard specifying security
mechanisms for wireless networks (see Wi-Fi). The draft standard was ratified
on 24 June 2004, and supersedes the previous security specification, Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP), which was shown to have severe security weaknesses.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) had previously been introduced by the Wi-Fi
Alliance as an intermediate solution to WEP insecurities. WPA implemented a
subset of 802.11i. The Wi-Fi Alliance refers to their approved, interoperable
implementation of the full 802.11i as WPA2. 802.11i makes use of the Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher; WEP and WPA use the RC4 stream cipher.
