WPA, as part of the initial implementation of 802.11i, includes a host of new features designed to patch the gaping holes in the previous wireless encryption and authentication protocol, WEP. Wpa-psk, the less secure version of WPA for those of us who do not have a PEAP authentication server, relies upon a common pre-shared key to initialize the communication.

Note: The code for key generation is based upon Warewolf Labs.
