WEP Encryption
Traditional WEP encryption is applied when "Open or Shared Key", "Shared
Key" authentication methods are selected.
64/128-bit versus 40/104-bit
The following section explains low-level (64-bit) and high-level (128-bit)
WEP Encryption schemes.
64-bit WEP Encryption
64-bit WEP and 40-bit WEP are the same encryption method and can
interoperate in a wireless network. This level of WEP encryption uses a
40-bit (10 Hex character) encryption scheme as a secret key, which is set
by the user, and a 24-bit "Initialization Vector" scheme, which is not under
user control.
Together these two schemes make a 64-bit (40 + 24) encryption scheme.
Some vendors refer to this level of WEP as 40-bit and others refer to this as
64-bit. ASUS WLAN products use the term 64-bit when referring to this
lower level of encryption.
