Are you using WPA2 or AES for your wireless?

From Mary Brown | September 8th, 2009

Ohigashi & Morii (2009) have published a research paper that increases the concern about the use of WPA encryption to protect data being transmitted via wireless networks. Wireless security is becoming a more pressing topic as mobile computing becomes more the norm.

How important do you think it really is to worry about using very robust security for wireless as opposed to just the run of the mill WEP or WPA? Do you think most organizations are creating architectures for their wireless solutions that are highly secure?

Why or why not? Tell us what you think.
