Wi-Fi hikes security. Wi-Fi and 3G networks

WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) is the most advanced security standard for Wi-Fi. The WPA2 certification program already included five other EAP (extensible authentication protocol) methods.

The newly added protocols, EAP-AKA (Authentication and Key Agreement) and EAP-FAST (Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling), are designed to better secure enterprise Wi-Fi LANs.

EAP-AKA was developed by the 3GPP (Third-Generation Partnership Project), the main standards body for 3G.
