Wireless Encryption Comparison

Protocol	Key Management	Crackable	Notes
WEP	Static IV	Trivially	Deprecated, never use
WPA-TKIP	PSK/Enterprise	Possible	Legacy, avoid
WPA2-PSK	PBKDF2/CCMP	Dictionary attacks	Requires strong passphrase
WPA2-Enterprise	802.1X/RADIUS	Certificate attacks	Recommended with cert pinning
WPA3-SAE	Dragonfly handshake	Resistant	Best current option
