WPA encryption Key Generator
If you want, you can instantiate your own SecureRandom instance, using your preferred algorithm and provider, and pass it to the key generator via an overload of the init method. There are key derivation methods that attempt to mitigate the weaknesses of password-based keys, but a password-based key will always be more predictable.
Create a WPA Key
This tool generate a WPA encryption key that you can use to secure your Wireless network. generate the WPA Encryption key, copy it and paste it into your wireless router's configuration panel. Restart your DSL modem/router.

Wi-Fi Protected Access
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) are systems to secure wireless (Wi-Fi) networks. They were created in response to several serious weaknesses researchers had found in the previous system, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). WPA implements the majority of the IEEE802.11i standard, and was intended as an intermediate measure to take the place of WEP while 802.11i was prepared. WPA is designed to work with all wireless network interface cards, but not necessarily with first generation wireless access points. WPA2 implements the full standard, but will not work with some older network cards. Both provide good security, with two significant issues:
- either WPA or WPA2 must be enabled and chosen in preference to WEP. WEP is usually presented as the first security choice in most installation instructions.
- in the 'Personal' mode, the most likely choice for homes and small offices, a passphrase is required that, for full security, must be longer than the typical 6 to 8 character passwords users are taught to employ.
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. The Wi-Fi Alliance calls the pre-shared key version WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal and the 802.1X authentication version WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise.

Prerequisites for Layer 2 Security
WLANs with the same SSID must have unique Layer 2 security policies so that clients can make a WLAN selection based on information advertised in beacon and probe responses. The available Layer 2 security policies are as follows:
- None (open WLAN)
- Static WEP or 802.1X
NoteBecause static WEP and 802.1X are both advertised by the same bit in beacon and probe responses, they cannot be differentiated by clients. Therefore, they cannot both be used by multiple WLANs with the same SSID. - WPA/WPA2
NoteAlthough WPA and WPA2 cannot be used by multiple WLANs with the same SSID, you can configure two WLANs with the same SSID with WPA/TKIP with PSK and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA )/Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) with 802.1X, or with WPA/TKIP with 802.1X or WPA/AES with 802.1X.
