Answer: Rivest Cipher 4 (RC4)

Explanation: 

In 2001, the RC4 cipher was chosen to be used with the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security protocol. RC4 is a symmetric-key algorithm that uses a 128-bit key. The original WPA implementation utilized RC4 in conjunction with TKIP, which is an IEEE 802.11i extension that allows for the use of Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). Initially, only a limited number of networks were able to support TKIP because it required new hardware and firmware.
