WEP:
Wired Equivalent Protocol
WPA:
WI-FI Protected Access Wi-Fi, WPA is an intermediate solution for the security issues.
It uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to replace WEP.
TKIP:
TKIP is a compromise on strong security and possibility to use existing hardware. It
still uses RC4 for the encryption like WEP, but with per-packet RC4 keys. In addition, it
implements replay protection, keyed packet authentication mechanism (Michael MIC).
802.1X:
The original security mechanism of IEEE 802.11 standard was not designed to be
strong and has proven to be insufficient for most networks that require some kind of security.
Task group I (Security) of IEEE 802.11 working group has worked to address the flaws of the
base standard and in practice completed its work in May 2004. The IEEE 802.11i
amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard was approved in June 2004 and published in July
2004.
