Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Wi‑Fi Protected Setup (WPS), referred to as Wi‑Fi Simple Configuration in the specification, and branded as WPS, is a standard designed to ease the setup of Wi‑Fi networks in home and small office environments. Created by Wi‑Fi Alliance, the purpose of the protocol is to allow home users who know little of wireless security and may be intimidated by the available security options to set up Wi‑Fi Protected Access, as well as making it easy to add new devices to an existing network without entering long passphrases.
