Wi-Fi - Wireless Fidelity (fidelity - accuracy of signal reproduction)
IEEE - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
IEEE 802.11 - IEEE standard for Wi-Fi or Wireless LAN (802 - founded in feb, 1980; 11 - 11th working group)
CSMA - Carrier Sense Multiple Access (senses the if the carrier is free for transmission and only then transmits data, reduces effective data rates to ~50% of max. capacity of standard)
Security:
1. WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy, first attempt at secure wireless n/wing, good against casual snooping
2. WPA - Wi-Fi Protected Access, 2nd generation system to overcome the flaws of WEP
