What is SSID?
Ans.
Short for Service Set Identifier. SSID is a 32 character unique identifier attached to the header of
packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS.
The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all Access Point and all devices attempting to
connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS
unless it can provide the unique SSID.

What is WEP?
Ans.
Short for
W

P
rivacy. WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area networks
defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP is designed to provide the same level of security as that of a
wired LAN. WEP aims to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is
protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another.
17.
What is WPA?
Ans.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a specification of standards-based, interoperable security
enhancements that increase the level of data protection and access control for existing and future
wireless LAN systems.
