What is WPA2?

WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) is a wireless security protocol used to secure Wi-Fi networks. It provides stronger encryption and authentication mechanisms compared to its predecessor, WEP, and the original WPA. It's commonly used in homes, offices, and public hotspots to protect data transmitted over Wi-Fi from unauthorized access.
