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.
WPA2 employs strong encryption protocols, primarily AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), to secure wireless communications and ensure data confidentiality. It also includes mechanisms like Message Integrity Check (MIC) to verify that packets have not been tampered with during transmission. While WPA2 significantly reduces the risk of interception and tampering, it is not infallible; vulnerabilities can exist, especially if weak passwords or outdated hardware are used. Therefore, while WPA2 enhances security, it does not guarantee complete protection against all forms of attacks.
You have to have a router capable of supporting WPA2 as well as a wireless adapter in your computer should support it too. If you are sure that you satisfy both, you need to log in your router, and in settings for wireless network security choose WPA2.
WPA2
You're referring to a WEP/WPA/WPA2 key. These aren't on your Xbox, they are actually Passwords for your router/wireless internet. You can get these from your network settings on your computer if using Windows 7, on the router itself, or if you have a Gateway, check the gateway or contact your Internet Service Provider.
The two common encryption methods used in wireless networks are Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2). WEP was the original standard but is now considered insecure. WPA and WPA2 provide stronger encryption and are widely used to secure modern Wi-Fi networks.
WEP is the most basic and is easily broken by knowledgeable people. WPA2 is newer and is much more seure.
It is to replaced WPA which requires testing and certification by Wi-Fi alliance. WPA2 is to provide a Wi-fi protection for users, a security technology.
The suffix in the word encoded is -ed.
The suffix for encoded is "-ed".
WPA2 with AES is more secure than TKIP. As of December 2009, TKIP is considered breakable while AES is currently considered not breakable.
I'm using window-xp, (sp3), i know how to make an adhoc network, and I'm using it now, i even know how to share internet in window xp among two computers(using adhoc), I've been searching for this all over the internet, and never find an answer to share wpa2 in window xp, my computer is able to connect to wpa2 but this is not what i want, i want the pc to share the wpa2, because my phone is not supported adhoc, but only wpa2 and other wifi,, connectify doesn't work, if there's a way to make my window xp share (wpa2) wireless, it would be a wish for me to know it ,, i want to download some app in my phone, but it can't connect to adhoc,, so is there a way to make my xp share wpa2 wireless?
WPA2, or Wi-Fi Protected Access 2, was introduced in 2004 as a security protocol for wireless networks. It was developed to enhance the security of wireless networks by implementing stronger encryption methods compared to its predecessor, WPA. WPA2 became mandatory for Wi-Fi certification in 2006.
