WEP
The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm protects wireless communication
from eavesdropping.
from eavesdropping.
WEP relies on a secret key that is shared between the wireless client (for example a
laptop with a wireless Ethernet card and the SpeedTouch™. The fixed secret key is
used to encrypt packets before they are transmitted. Meaning during transmission
between client and AP ("in the air") the information in the packets is encrypted.
