name that identifies a wireless network. The identifier is attached to the wireless local
area network (WLAN) and acts as an identifier when a device tries to connect to the
system. A device is not permitted to join the network unless it can provide the unique
SSID. An SSID can be broadcast by the network router, allowing devices to detect it as
an available network. An SSID does not supply security to the network.

data. WEP is available in 40 bit (also called 64 bit), or in 108 bit (also called 128 bit)
encryption modes. As 108 bit encryption provides a longer algorithm that takes longer
to decode, it can provide better security than basic 40 bit (64 bit) encryption. WEP key
A text string used for WEP security on a Wi Fi wireless network. A WEP key with 10 or
23 characters can include numbers and the letters A F and are not case sensitive. 5-
and 13-character WEP keys can include numbers and all letters (as well as some special
characters) and are case sensitive.
WPA—Wi Fi Protected Access: a Wi Fi security standard that provides a high level of
