Detailed explanation-1: -The WPA Wi-Fi protocol is more secure than WEP, because it uses a 256-bit key for encryption, which is a major upgrade from the 64-bit and 128-bit keys used by the WEP system. WPA also uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which dynamically generates a new key for each packet, or unit of data.

Detailed explanation-2: -WPA2 is a stronger version of WPA with more security features. Some of the most notable differences between WPA and WPA2 include the following: WPA2’s delineation between personal and enterprise modes; the use of AES, which makes WPA2 more secure; and.

Detailed explanation-3: -WPA2 was created to be better, faster, and more robust than the original WPA.
