WPA
WPA
A shared secret key.
The cifs sign in ID stands for Common Internet File System sign in ID. It is used to authenticate users accessing shared files and folders on a network using the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol. This ID allows users to connect to network storage devices and access shared resources.
A shared secret key
A shared secret keyand other words;Both the sender and receiver share the same key
Any shared private key method - symmetric encryption.

The Server Message Block (SMB) Protocol is a network file sharing protocol, and as implemented in Microsoft Windows is known as Microsoft SMB Protocol.
HTML files are most often sent and received using HTTP, which stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol. Files can also be shared using FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol.
Symmetric encryption is the process of encrypting and decrypting data via a single shared key. The process begins when the sender wants to trasnmit data in a secure fashion. Unencrypted data is ciphered with the shared secret key. The encrypted data is then sent to the receiving host via the internet or local resource. Once the receiver obtains the encrypted data, the receiver uses the same shared secret key to decipher the data. The receiver then has the same exact data unencrypted as the sender. The biggest advantage besides the security is that symmetric encryption is way faster than asymmetric encryption. The disadvantage is getting the shared secret key between the two parties without being tampered with or without being seen/heard by an unauthorized host.
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) builds upon WPA, which makes them very similar. Both support identical Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) types in an enterprise environment, as well as allowing pre-shared keys (PSKs). Group key transmission is performed by the two-way handshake, while the four-way handshake is used for unicast generation. The main differences are as follows: - 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
You can actually use both; the problem with symmetric encryption is how to get the shared key to someone else in a secure manner.The problem with asymmetric encryption is that it is too slow to be used to general communications.So, using both can solve the problems of drawbacks to just using one or the other.
