WEP Encryption
This option specifies whether data sent over the network is encrypted. The same network key is
used for data encryption and network authentication. Four network keys can be defined
although only one can be used at any one time. Use the Current Network Key list box to select
the appropriate network key.
Security options include authentication and encryption services based on the wired equivalent
privacy (WEP) algorithm. WEP is a set of security services used to protect 802.11 networks
from unauthorized access, such as eavesdropping; in this case, the capture of wireless network
traffic.
When data encryption is enabled, secret shared encryption keys are generated and used by the
source station and the destination station to alter frame bits, thus avoiding disclosure to
eavesdroppers.
Under shared key authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret
shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network
communications channel.
Encryption Strength
This drop-down list box will display when WEP Encryption is enabled. The key strength is
proportional to the number of binary bits comprising the key. This means that keys with a
greater number of bits have a greater degree of security and are considerably more difficult to
crack. Encryption strength can be set to either 64-bit or 128-bit. A 64-bit key is equivalent to
5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal numbers. A 128-bit key contains 13 ASCII characters or
26 hexadecimal numbers. Each key contains a 24-bit header (an initiation vector) which
enables parallel decoding of multiple streams of encrypted data.
