WEP:
WEP:
WEP:
Wired
Equivalent
Privacy
(WEP)
is
the
method
for
secure
wireless
data
transmission.
WEP adds data encryption to
every
single
packet
transmitted
in
the
wireless
network.
The
40bit
and
64bit
encryption are the same because of out 64
bits, 40 bits are private.
Conversely, 104
and
128
bit
are
the same.
WEP
uses
a
common KEY to encode the data.
Therefor
e, all devices on a wireless network must
use
the
same
key
and
same
type
of
encryption.
There
are
2
methods
for
entering the
KEY;
one is to enter a 16-bit
HEX digit.
Using this method, users must
enter a 10-digit number (for 64-bit) or 26-
digit number (for 128-bit) in the KEY field.
Users must select the same key number for
all devices.
The other method is to enter a
text and let the computer generate the WEP
key for you.
However, since each product
use different method for key generation, it

WPA/WPA2:
WPA/WPA2:
WPA/WPA2:
A
security
protocol
for
wireless
networks
that builds on the basic foundations of
WEP.
It
secures
wireless
data
transmission
by
using a key similar to
WEP,
but the added
strength of WPA is that
the key changes
dynamically.
The
changing
key
makes
it
much more difficult for a hacker to learn the
key and gain access to the network.WPA2 is
the second generation of WPA security and
provides a stronger encryption mechanism
through
Advanced
Encryption
Standard
(AES),
which
is
a
requirement
for
some
government users.
