WPA, WPA2, WPA3, and WEP

These terms represent different security protocols used to secure Wi-Fi networks. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) was the original standard but has since been deemed insecure. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was introduced as an interim upgrade, followed by WPA2, which offered stronger encryption through AES. WPA3 is the latest standard, incorporating advanced features like Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) for improved password security and stronger encryption overall.
