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. Therefore, 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 might not work for
different products. Therefore, it is NOT recommended
using.
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
