	Wi-Fi Protected Access
WPA

    (WPA) A security scheme for wireless
   networks, developed by the networking industry in response to
   the shortcomings of Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP).  WPA
   uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption and
   provides built-in authentication, giving security comparable
   to VPN tunneling with WEP, with the benefit of easier
   administration and use.

   WPA-PSK is a simplified form of WPA.
