WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WEP is an encryption method according to IEEE 802.11 on the basis of the RC4 encryption algorithm. WEP offers mechanisms for data encryption and authentication. WEP uses a key to encrypt the entire communication. For this purpose, a key is stored in each WLAN device. WEP offers three modes.
-'Open System' for data encryption. The Wireless LAN is available for all clients. No authentication is carried out.
-'Open System + EAP' for data encryption. In addition a version of the 'Extensible Authentication Protocol' is used for authentication purposes.
-'Shared Key' for data encryption. In addition the
