Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security algorithm for IEEE
802.11 wireless networks with the intention to provide data
confidentiality comparable to that of a traditional wired
network .WEP, recognizable by the key of 10 or 26 hexadecimal
digits, is widely in use. WEP uses the stream cipher RC4 for
confidentiality,[5] and the CRC‐32 checksum for integrity. Standard
64‐bit WEP uses a 40‐bit key (also known as WEP‐40), which is
concatenated with a 24‐bit initialization vector (IV) to form the RC4
key. The extended 128‐bit WEP protocol uses a 104‐bit key size
(WEP‐104). A 152‐bit WEP is available from some vendors. Static
WEP encryption allows to include 4 WEP Keys while dynamic WEP
encryption changes WEP key dynamically.
WPA/WPA2
The WPA protocol implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i
standard. It enhances data encryption through the Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol (TKIP) which is a 128‐bit per‐packet key, meaning
that it dynamically generates a new key for each packet. WPA also
includes a message integrity check feature to prevent data packets
from being hampered with. Only authorized network users can
access the
The later WPA2 protocol features compliance with the full IEEE
802.11i standard and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in
addition to TKIP encryption protocol to guarantee better security
than that provided by WEP or WPA. Currently, WPA is supported by
wireless network.
