of 64-bit keys or 128-
bit keys to provide access control to user’s network
and encryption security for every data transmission. To decode a data
transmission, each wireless client on the network must use an identical
64-bit or 128-bit key. WEP is an older wireless encryption method that is
not as hard to break as the more-recent WPA.

authentication server receives a user ID and password. It grants or denies
access based on whether the ID and password match any entries in its
