WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) An IEEE standard security protocol for wireless 802.11 networks. Introduced in 1997, WEP was found to be very inadequate and was superseded by WPA, WPA2 and 802.11i. Its authentication method was extremely weak and even helped an attacker decipher the secret encryption key. As a result, WEP authentication was dropped from the Wi-Fi specification.Passwords Are Required WEP uses passwords that are entered manually at both ends (see preshared keys). Using the RC4 encryption algorithm, WEP originally specified a 40-bit key, but was later boosted to 104 bits. Combined with a 24-bit initialization vector, WEP is often touted as having a 128-bit key. See WPA, 802.11i and initialization vector. How to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | For added convenience, the DAP-1360 provides 64/128-bit WEP encryption and WPA/WPA2 security to protect the users' networks and wireless data. But they don't, from a security standpoint, if you're still running WEP or WPA. Designed with simple user setup and diagnostics utilities, the GX-300 and GX-1500 also feature legacy and high throughput modes and have been developed to support 64/128-bit WEP data encryption, quality of service (QoS) -- WMM, WMM-PS; both infrastructure and ad-hoc networking modes, and multiple BSSID. |
