The statement is true.

Explanation:

WPA:

WPA is known as WiFi Protected Access. It is basically a security technology as well as security standard to keep the user more secure and safe over the wireless internet connections.

It was developed in order to make the data encryption more sophisticated and better authentication of the user as compared to WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).

WPA2:

WPA2 is known as WiFi Protected Access 2 and this technology is more sophisticated than WPA as it provide separate unique keys for the encryption of the each wireless client that is connected to the network.
