Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a scheme to secure wireless networks
(WiFi). Because a wireless network broadcasts messages using radio, it
is particularly susceptible to eavesdropping. WEP provides comparable
confidentiality to a traditional wired network. WEP provides a bare
minimal level of security that can deter casual snooping.
shared-wep — Shared authentication only with WEP encryption.
■
open-shared-wep — Open or shared authentication with WEP
■
encryption.
802.1x — 802.1x authentication with WEP.
