WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

WPA was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance in 2002, in part out of impatience with the slow-moving IEEE 802.11i standard. The industry consortium's consensus was that an alternative to WEP was needed quickly, and WPA was the result. To avoid multiple standards and conflicts later on, WPA was designed from the get-go to be compatible with IEEE 802.11i and was based on its early draft specifications. The finalized version of IEEE 802.11i is now referred to as WPA2.
