First Wi-Fi secure Products certified

MANHASSET, N.Y. — The Wi-Fi Alliance has announced the first products to be certified for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 security compliance. It also introduced a Wi-Fi multimedia certification program for quality of service in wireless LANs. The first certified products are pending.

Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) builds on its predecessor, which was based upon prestandard IEEE 802.11i extension elements. That spec has since been finalized. WPA2 adds the Advanced Encryption Standard, which is considered essential to meet FIPS140-2 government security requirements.
