[QUOTE="Ryan Lantzy, post: 18156, member: 7"] Re: How secure are WPA2 PSK is pretty much infailable if AES is used and a truely random 256bit key. TKIP (an alternative encryption scheme supported by WPA) has been compromised by a flaw found by some researchers. To thwart brute force attempts, a non-dictionary set of random charcaters should be used for the passphrase if a true 256bit key is not being used (64 ascii characters). Another good measure is to not use a common name for the wireless access point SSID if using a passphrase. The 256bit key is generated via an algorithm using the phasphrase and SSID. Other protections, hide the SSID (don't broadcast) and enable MAC address filtering. [/QUOTE]
