	Wi-Fi Protected Access - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		WPA implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and was intended as an intermediate measure to take the place of WEP while 802.11i was prepared.
		WPA was created by The Wi-Fi Alliance, an industry trade group, which owns the trademark to the Wi-Fi name and certifies devices that carry that name.
		WPA is designed for use with an 802.1X authentication server, which distributes different keys to each user; however, it can also be used in a less secure "pre-shared key" (PSK) mode, where every user is given the same passphrase.

	Works Progress Administration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		WPA projects primarily (90%) employed unskilled blue-collar workers in construction projects across the nation, but also employed some white-collar artists, musicians, and writers on smaller-scale projects, and even ran a circus.
		It is to the eternal credit of the administrative officers of the WPA that discrimination on various projects because of race has been kept to a minimum and that in almost every community Negroes have been given a chance to participate in the work program.
		Some who experienced work in the WPA have been known to refer to it as "We Poke Along," "We Piddle Along" or "We Putter Around." This is a reference to WPA projects that sometimes slowed to a crawl, because foremen had no incentive to speed up workers.

		WPA also conducted an education program and supervised the activities of the National Youth Administration.
		There was sharp criticism of the WPA in a Senate committee report in 1939; the same year the WPA appropriation was cut, several projects were abolished, and others were curtailed.

	New Deal Cultural Programs
		The WPA philosophy was to put the unemployed back to work in jobs which would serve the public good and conserve the skills and the self-esteem of workers throughout the U.S. The Birth of "Federal One"
		The apparent contradiction between the WPA cultural programs' centralized direction and their exceptional ability to support truly diverse regional work is resolved in part by a closer look at their basic premises.
		When the New York City WPA director was looking to purge his program of radical artists, he spotted trouble in a four-panel mural at Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Airport: he had three panels torn down and burned after he saw a figure who looked like Lenin and a plane with a red star that looked Soviet.

	WPA Wireless Security for Home Networks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		WPA resolves the issue of weak WEP headers, which are called initialization vectors (IV), and provides a way of insuring the integrity of the messages passed through MIC (called Michael or message integrity check) using TKIP (the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) to enhance data encryption.
		The WPA preshared key should be a random sequence of either keyboard characters (upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and punctuation) at least 20 characters long or hexadecimal digits (numbers 0-9 and letters A-F) at least 24 hexadecimal digits long.
		WPA is not an official IEEE standard, but is based on and is expected to be compatible with the upcoming 802.11i security standard, sometimes referred to as WPA2.

		Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a specification of standards-based, interoperable security enhancements that strongly increase the level of data protection (encryption) and access control (authentication) for existing and future wireless LAN systems.
		WPA is derived from and will be forward-compatible with the forthcoming IEEE 802.11i draft standard.
		WPA provides Wi-Fi wireless LAN users with a high level of assurance that their data will remain safe and protected and that only authorized users can access the network.

	WPA Security Enhancements
		WPA is actually a snapshot of the current version of 802.11i, which includes Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and 802.1x mechanisms.
		WPA with TKIP, however, uses 48-bit IVs that significantly reduce IV reuse and the possibility that a hacker will collect a sufficient number of 802.11 frames to crack the encryption.
		WPA is also capable of operating in what's known as "pre-shared key mode" if no external authentication server is available, such as in homes and small offices.

		WPA delivers a level of security way beyond anything that WEP can offer, bridges the gap between WEP and 802.11i networks, and has the advantage that the firmware in older equipment may be upgradeable.
		WPA and other wireless encryption methods operate strictly between your WiFi enabled computer and your WiFi access point.
		So, while using WPA will protect you from external intruders, you may want to implement additional techniques to protect your transmissions when you use public networks and the Internet.

	WPA: It's Like WEP, but Good
		WPA (Wi-Fi protected access) is an update of these security measures that fixes both the ciphers and the authentication methods used in the protocol.
		WPA increases Wi-Fi WEP security in two ways: it fixes the problem with an easily cracked key, and makes authentication of users possible.
		Before the security improvements that have recently been introduced to 802.11 by WPA can be understood, the original security mechanism used has to be somewhat explained.
