WPA2 is capable of using several different encryption types. WPA2 (as opposed to WPA) introduced CCMP, a new AES-based encryption mode. In addition, WPA2 can operate in PSK, also known as Personal mode, which is designed for home and small office networks that don't require the complexity of an 802.1X authentication server. The wireless network device encrypts the network traffic using a 256 bit key. The key may be entered either as a string of 64 hexadecimal digits, or as a passphrase of 8 to 63 ASCII characters. If the ASCII characters are used, the 256 bit key is calculated by applying the PBKDF2 key derivation function to the passphrase and using the SSID as the "salt"or initialization parameter and 4096 iterations of HMAC-SHA1.Answers.com
WPA2 can use several encryption methods, but is particularly well suited for AES encryption.
WPA2 PSK Wi fi protected access
The three main methods of encryption for 802.11 wireless networks are the following: # WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) # WPA (WiFi Protected Access) # WPA2 (WiFi Protected Acess)
- WPA requires Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), and it supports Advanced Encryption System (AES), which provides a stronger encryption - WPA2 requires AES, and it does not support TKIP
Yes, it supports different kinds of encryption including WPA2.
Yes. WEP is easily hackable.
WEP, WPA, and WPA2.

WEP can be cracked for 1-2 minutes. WPA might require many days. WPA2 will take reasonable amount of time of you have the password in the dictionary if you are performing brute force. If you do not have such word. So far WPA2 is a very good encryption which is if implemented properly can protect you.
Yes, but it must be over a WEP encryption or no encryption. Despite the fact the 3DS can connect to WPA2 networks, it is part of the design of DS cartridges that they are restricted to using WEP. So one in a 3DS can't be played online over WPA2, only WEP.
Yes it does,WPA2 is one of the higher encryption setups for wireless. It encrypts the connection between the Router AND the adapters as they talk to each other. They each have to have the sameencryption in order to work.
WPA2 implements the mandatory elements of 802.11i. In particular, it introduces CCMP, a new AES-based encryption mode with strong security. For more information, go to the Wikipedia link attached to this post.
