Different kinds of wireless security conventions have been created for the wellbeing of home

wireless organizations. They security protocol of Wi-fi (wireless Fidelity) are

 WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
 WPA (Wi-fi Protected Access)
 WPA2 (Wi-fi Protected Access 2),
 WPA3(Wi-fi Protected Access 3).
The security protocol of Wi-Fi serves the same capacity, however are distinctive simultaneously.

Wired Equivalent Privacy

 A network protocol that adds security to the Wi-fi and other 802.11i wireless network.
 Provide data encryption & integrity protection for 802.11 standards
 Aims to protect link-level data during wireless transmission.
 WEP client share a secret key (WEP key) used by them for authentication & for encryption &
decryption of message.
 WEP keys needs to be update stored in clients & can be cracked easily by WEP 802.11X
called as dynamic WEP which exploit weakness of static WEP.

Wi-Fi Protected Access

The Wireless Protected Access (WPA) is created as a stop-gap measure.
Until 802.11i or WPA2 could be developed. The WPA is a provisional security standard based on an
early documentation of the 802.11i core security standard.
The Wi-fi Alliance watered down the 802.11i draft standard, using weaker security protocol which
main disadvantage of WAP compared with 802.11i. WPA used a less secure TKIP encryption than a
new AES with CCMP based encryption mode with strong security in 802.11i.

Without spending a much time and cost, WAP allows wireless device users to access information
over wireless network. WAP is beneficial in several ways. Major benefits of WAP are as follows:

 Benefits to subscribers:

 Portability

 Easy to use

 Fast, convenient, and efficient access to services.

 The possibility of having personalized services.

 To fulfill as many customers’ needs as possible.

Wi-Fi Protected Access 2

WPA2(Wi-fi Protected Access 2) take the place of WPA. It includes more highlights along with
everything else. WPA2 has been exceptionally well known and has held its place as the top
convention since 2004. Truly, on 13 March 2006, the Wi-Fi Alliance declared that all potential Wi-Fi
gadgets needed to utilize WPA2.
Wi-Fi Protected Access 3
WPA3 is the newcomer, and you can discover it in the switches that were made in 2019. With this
new organization, WPA3 acquaints more grounded security with public organizations to keep
programmers from separating data from them
