After doing some research, there a lot of standards out there: 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11n, 802.11g, and more, but those were the commonly used (Jacob went into some detail). Simply put, every 802.11 after the original are all building off the 802.11 foundation. The developers added more to the original, with more benefits but also some setbacks. They improved by fixing those mistakes, which came out to other such 802.11 so on and so forth. We learned from Operating Systems Technician that the common encryption standards are WEP, WPS, and WPA 1 and 2. WEP was the first Wifi encryption created and used so the developers needed to fix those mistakes, making what’s known as WPA and WPS.
