<a href="http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/070108/sfm024.html?.v=74" target="_blank">Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) will use push-button or PIN to simplify secure network setup:</a>
The Wi-Fi Alliance has rolled out its long-expected and openly discussed WPS system for its members to choose to implement and have certified as a component of their Wi-Fi devices. With WPS, a router can provide strong WPA/WPA2 encryption keys to client devices with the push of a button or the entry of a 4- or 8-digit personal identification number (PIN). The PIN can be generated by software or preprogrammed into a client device and printed on an included card. Push-button authentication will work essentially like Buffalo's AOSS method; PIN authentication like Atheros's JumpStart (which Atheros <a href="http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/070108/sfm140.html?.v=9" target="_blank">notes is compatible in version 2.0</a> with WPS).
