WEP - Early wireless security protocol with known vulnerabilities. It uses a static key for encryption, WPA - Provides improved security through dynamic keys, WPA2 - Utilizes the AES encryption standard for robust protection. Its considered to be secure for most applications, WPA3 - Introduces encryption methods, individualized data protection, and stronger safeguards, making it "the" preferred choice for modern wireless networks, 3DES - An obsolete symmetric key encryption algorithm that applies Data Encryption Standard three times to each block., AES - A widely-utilized symmetric encryption algorithm that operates on fixed-size blocks of data (128 bits) and supports key lengths of 128, 192, or 256 bits. It has become the standard encryption algorithm due to its efficiency, security, and widespread adoption in various applications and systems., Ad-hoc - A mode that allows devices to communicate directly with each other without the need for a central AP. It’s often seen in peer-to-peer networks, allowing devices to connect and communicate dynamically. This mode is suitable for scenarios where a temporary or spontaneous network is required, Infrastructure - Involves connecting devices through a central AP and is commonly used in established wireless networks, providing stability, and scalability., 802.1x security - A security standard designed for network access control. It operates at the port level, whether physical or wireless, and uses Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) or RADIUS to validate credentials based on admin-defined policies (ACL).,
