IEEE 802.11 compliant encryption scheme based on the RC4 algorithm that
is used to secure wireless data.
WEP encryption is a method of encrypting data that is transmitted over your
wireless network to insure data security. In a wired network, data security is
maintained through the physical wire. WEP encryption provides the same
level of security for your wireless data as if it were being transmitted over
standard network cabling. In order to duplicate wired network security
levels, wireless data is encrypted at its point of transmission. The receiving
device decodes the data. This allows you to have the same amount of
security over your wireless network as they would over a wired network.
