WAN
Wide-Area Network. A wide-area network consists of groups of interconnected computers
that are separated by a wide distance and communicate with each other via common carrier
telecommunication techniques.
WEP
WEP is widely used as the basic security protocol in Wi-Fi networks, which secures data
transmissions using 64-bit or 128-bit encryption.
Windows
Windows is a graphical user interface for workstations that use DOS.
WPA
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access ) is used to improve the security of Wi-Fi networks, replacing the
current WEP standard. It uses its own encryption, Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), to
secure data during transmission.
WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2, the latest security specification that provides greater data
protection and network access control for Wi-Fi networks. WPA2 uses the government-grade
AES encryption algorithm and IEEE 802.1X-based authentication, which are required to
secure large corporate networks.
