| static key (a hexadecimal or alphanumeric string). Every user or |
| device on the network shares the same key. WEP encryption is |
| used along with shared key authentication, using the same key for |
| both authentication and encryption. |
| A network using |
| significantly stronger security, and is supported in most wireless |
| access points and wireless routers. The access point or router |
| verifies the identity of a user or device requesting access to the |
| network before granting that access. Several different |
| authentication protocols might be used on an authentication server. |

| WEP aims to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves |
| so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to |
| another. This security method is common on wireless networks. |
