A comparative study of WLAN security protocols: WPA, WPA2

In this paper, we have made a comparison between different WLAN security protocols, WPA and WPA2, and we correlated the two with respect to performance. We have emphasized on IEEE 802.11n amendment. We performed an experiment to measure the maximum throughput achieved by different encryption protocols. We concluded that WPA2 has less reduction on network throughput than WPA due to its encryption algorithm, CCMP, which is highly improved compared to TKIP, which is adopted by WPA.
