Hi,

you can break WPA2 encryption in the same way as you can break WPA (for 
example using Airodump, Aireplay and Aircrack).
Like WPA, WPA2 creates fresh 
session keys on every association. The benefit is that the encryption keys used 
for each client on the network are unique and specific to that client. 
Ultimately, every packet sent over the air is encrypted with a unique key. The 
ability to avoid key reuse and provide unique, fresh encryption keys is a basic 
tenet of good security practice and is why both WPA and WPA2 offer such good 
security.

So, is enough to choose a very secure preshared key to secure WPA or 
WPA.

I hope this is helpful for you.
