5. Q: How are WPAT and WPA2 similar?
A: Both WPA and WPA2 offer a high level of assurance for end-users and
network administrators that their data will remain private and access to
their network restricted to authorized users.

Both utilize 802.1X and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) for
authentication. Both have Personal and Enterprise modes of operation
that meet the distinct needs of the different consumer and enterprise
market segments.

6. Q: How are WPA and WPA2 different?

A: WPA2 provides a stronger encryption mechanism through Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some corporate and
government users.
