ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 • WPA and WPA-PSK (TKIP). Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides strong data security with Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per-frame rekeying of WPA makes it virtually impossible to compromise. WPA uses RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication; for more information, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48 and Configure WPA with RADIUS, WPA2 with RADIUS, and WPA & WPA2 with RADIUS on page 55.
