Tom's Hardware Guide has published a good roundup of WPA, a new access control and encryption system for WiFi. This is a good start-to-finish explanation, but I'm still awfully skeptical about the value of WPA outside of contexts where a server is present (i.e., my home, WiFi hotspots, warstumbled nodes) — everyone sharing one password is just dumb-o.
Lately, I've been thinking that the best way to go is to turn on VPN access on my router and use OS X's VPN client to encrypt my connection without using WEP or WPA.
