For years, one of the most worrying problems with wireless
broadband internet access was the issue of keeping data secure
during the split second of transfer. If one does not take the
proper security precautions, a clever hacker could intercept the
signal to steal passwords or even financial information.
Fortunately,
WiFi
security has seen much notable advancement in the past few
years. Encryption technology has become more and more
sophisticated, and is now readily available in most devices.
Some of the most common security encryption standards are Wired
Equivalency Privacy (WEP) and WiFi Protected Access (WPA).
