Description: WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) is a mode of WPA2 that uses a shared password for authentication and encryption. This security protocol is implemented in wireless networks to protect the information transmitted between devices. WPA2-PSK is a significant improvement over its predecessor, WPA, as it uses the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption standard, which provides a higher level of security. The pre-shared key is configured on the router and on each device connecting to the network, allowing only those who know the password to access the network. This method is particularly popular in home and small office environments, where ease of setup and low cost are important factors. Additionally, WPA2-PSK is known for its ability to provide a good balance of security and performance, making it a preferred option for users looking to protect their wireless networks from unauthorized access.
