The algorithm consists of five steps, the first three steps are similar to those formed the KBRP method. The last two steps are added to derive a key and to ensure that the derived key has all the characteristics of a strong key. In order to demonstrate the efficiency of the algorithm, a number of keys are derived using various passwords of different content and length. The features of the derived keys show a good agreement with all characteristics of strong keys. In addition, they are compared with features of keys generated using the WLAN strong key generator v2.2 by Warewolf Labs.}, journal = {American Journal of Applied Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
