II. Wireless Security Concept
With 802.11 WEP, all APs and client radio NICs (Network Interface Card) on a particular wireless
LAN have to use the same encryption key. A sending station encrypt each frame with a WEP key
before transmission, and the receiving station decrypts it using the same key upon reception. This
process reduces the risk of eavesdropping and gaining access to the information that carried by the
frames.
