Explanation

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access, version 1) uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) as its encryption method. WPA was introduced as an interim replacement for WEP. WPA2 uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), which is stronger. WEP uses RC4 and its own weak integrity checks. AES is an encryption algorithm itself, not a wireless standard. On the exam, remember: WPA = TKIP, WPA2 = AES.
