Types of Wireless Encryption refer to the security protocols used to protect data transmitted over wireless networks.
Common types include WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), WPA2, and WPA3.
Each encryption type offers different levels of security, with WPA3 being the most advanced and secure.
Understanding these encryption methods is crucial for securing Wi-Fi networks and preventing unauthorized access.
