The absence of a physical connection makes wireless links vulnerable to information theft.

Encryption is an efficient method of preventing data theft and improving data security.

The AP and the mobile computer are required to use the same encryption algorithm to

associate and transmit data. If an AP is set to Open System and an adapter is set to 40-bit

or 128-bit, no association takes place. Similarly, if an adapter is set to Open System and an

AP is set to 40-bit or 128-bit, no association takes place.

If an AP is set to 40-bit and an adapter is set to 128-bit, the adapter can associate to the AP,

but no data transmission and reception can take place.
