From 2005 March betting on around May, one kind of worm which is infected to Windows which becomes popular. With the attachment file of the mail and the infection route of 2 types of direct access from network, it became topic by the fact that subspecies of several dozen types appears shortly in period.

When you are infected, in order for the virus itself to be executed when starting automatically, it is altered registry, while the user does not become aware, collecting mail address from the file inside the disk, attaching the copy of the self, it transmits. In addition, TCP port 445th of the other computer it accesses in, it tries infection it exists in the security function of Windows making use of the vulnerability which is called “MS04-011”. Connecting to the IRC server of specification, there are also times when the program which received the order of the attack person, was sent is executed.

Economic organization Wi-Fi of the wireless LAN Alliance announced in 2002 October, standard of encoding system of the wireless LAN. Those which reinforce the weak point of WEP which is adopted until recently, improve security strength.

Various vulnerabilities being discovered & being reported by WEP which is the encoding standard which is adopted for the former wireless LAN, encoding which is substituted to WEP had eagerly waited. As for WPA, automatically renews the point and the cipher key which have user identification function in addition to former SSID and the WEP key, to every fixed time “TKIP” (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) with improvement such that the encoding protocol which is called is adopted is added.

As for WPA originally, decision is advanced at IEEE standardization commission, for it is portion of the encoding standard which is the schedule which is adopted “IEEE802.11i” standard, but this standard cannot correspond with the IEEE802.11a/b equipment which has circulated to the actual market. Because of this, until the 802.11i corresponding equipment spreads, in order between, to guarantee the security of the common equipment, only WPA which is subset preceding, it came to the point of with standard to be decided and released.

Economic organization Wi-Fi of the wireless LAN Alliance announced in 2004 September, standard of encoding system of the wireless LAN. With the new version of WPA which is announced in 2002, it corresponds to more powerful AES code.

National form technical bureau (NICT) we adopt “AES” of the encoding standard which is decided, powerful encoding which utilizes the variable length key of 128 - 256 bits has become possible. Specification other than that is not different from WPA almost. If WPA compatible mode is prepared and it is the WPA2 corresponding equipment, it can communicate with the WPA corresponding equipment which is used until recently.
