WPA's got a little weakness: poor key choice.
Stated more accurately, the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) option of WPA, using
the recommended text-to-key hashing algorithm, has a little weakness.
And only when humans fail to use the recommended 20-character or larger,
mixed text, numerics, etc. type of pass-phrases (i.e. pass-phrases that
are more inherently resistant to dictionary attack). PSK mode is
expected to be used in home and SOHO environments.
This is not a problem for the IEEE 802.1X authenticated key management (AKM) mode of operation for WPA. 802.1X AKM is expected to be used in enterprise environments.
