WPA-PSK personal uses a 256 bit key. This key is composed either as a string of 64 hexidesimal digets or a passphrase between 8 and 63 printable ASCII Characters.
Encryption Method
The key is encrypted using a PBKDF2 derived function to the passphrase, using the SSID as the salt function and 4096 iterations of HMAC-SHA1 [1]
