5.3 WEP and WPA Encryption

WEP is an data encryption algorithm, which protects Wireless LAN data in the network against eavesdropping. WEP has been found that it has some security problems. The adapter supports WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) that combines IEEE 802.1x and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) technologies. Client users are required to authorize before accessing to APs or AP Routers, and the data transmitted in the network is encrypted/decrypted by a dynamically changed secret key. This adapter is also built-in AES engine which ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information and it is the most advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the wireless network.
