What Is a WPA Key?

WPA-PSK (WPA-Preshared Key, WPA-Preshared Key) refers to the WEP pre-distributed shared key authentication method. The encryption method and key authentication method have been modified to make it more secure. The client's authentication still uses the correct key that the user has previously assigned. WPA-PSK proposes a new encryption method: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). The pre-assigned keys are used only for the authentication process and not for the data encryption process, so they do not cause the same serious security problems as WEP keys. ^[1]
