What is WPA2/WPA3?

WPA2 and WPA3 are security protocols for Wi-Fi networks. WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) is an older standard that improved upon the original WEP protocol, using stronger encryption (AES) and authentication (TKIP or CCMP). WPA3 is the latest standard, offering enhanced security features, including stronger encryption, protection against brute-force attacks, and individualized data encryption, even on open networks. They are commonly used to secure wireless internet connections in homes, businesses, and public hotspots.
