WPA Personal(PSK) ws Enterprise

[Crille]

Hello!

I wonder if WPA has the same security level in both WPA Personal(PSK) and Enterprise mode.

Or is it only a question about management?
(with personal u add all users to all AP:s, in Enterprsie you use a central database)

Crille,

WPA Enterprise mode is part of 802.1x and does have a higher level of security than WPA-PSK (pre-shared key).

WPA-PSK is dynamic WEP between the AP and client using a set pre-shared key.

802.1x is server based username / password access with digital certificates. Once authenticated, the server sends the dynamic WEP key to the AP for WPA between the AP and client.
