	Wired Equivalent Privacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		WEP was intended to provide comparable confidentiality to a traditional wired network, hence the name.
		WEP is part of the IEEE 802.11 standard ratified in September 1999.
		WEP uses the stream cipher RC4 for confidentiality and the CRC-32 checksum for integrity.

	WEP definition - isp.webopedia.com - The Glossary for Internet Service Providers
		WEP is designed to provide the same level of security as that of a wired LAN.
		WEP aims to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another.
		WEP is used at the two lowest layers of the OSI model - the data link and physical layers; it therefore does not offer end-to-end security.

	Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm is used to protect wireless communication from eavesdropping, because wireless transmissions are easier to intercept than transmissions over wired networks, and wireless is a shared medium, everything that is transmitted or received over a wireless network can be intercepted.
		WEP relies on a secret key that is shared between a mobile station (e.g.
		The reson for this misnomer is that the WEP key (40/104 bits) is concatenated with the initialisation vector (24 bits) resulting in a 64/128 bit total key size.

		WEP algorithm is part of the 802.11 Standard that describes communication in WLANs.
		WEP relies on a secret key shared between a laptop with wireless Ethernet card (or mobile station) and an access point (the base station).
		WEP encryption uses the RC4 encryption method and the conversion of plain text, cipher text and the initialization vector (IV) that is used to turn the plain text into cipher text.

	Cisco - Configuring Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
		WEP is used to encrypt and decrypt data signals that transmit between WLAN devices.
		WEP Keys must be comprised of the hexadecimal characters and must contain 10 characters for 40-bit WEP Keys or 26 characters for 128-bit WEP keys.
		The WEP key that you use to transmit data must be set to the same value on your Workgroup Bridge and other devices with which it communicates.

	[No title]
		Wep intended to become an engineer but as fate would have it his career in Press Art would start by doing comic illustrations for his Technical High School magazine.
		Following the end of the war, Wep spent a further 4 years at Consolidated Press until 1949, when, looking back over the first 25 years of his working life, he might have observed how-much he had contributed to the humour of the nation and its perception of itself.
		Pidgeon was one of the first to recognise the potential of this young artist, and, after viewing the 15 year old's painting, commented that here was the most natural talent he had seen and hoped that it would not get burnt out.

	802.11 WEP: Concepts and Vulnerability
		WEP inputs the resulting "seed" into a pseudo-random number generator that produces a keystream equal to the length of the frame's payload plus a 32-bit integrity check value (ICV).
		WEP is vulnerable because of relatively short IVs and keys that remain static.
		WEP does a good job of keeping most people out, at least those that are honest.

	WEP Key Generator Utility for Wi-Fi networks
		While the 64 bit implementation of WEP is part of the official standard, you should be aware that the 128 bit (and higher) implementations are not officially recognized and vary widely between manufacturers.
		Cracking WEP is not a trivial task, and if you secure your network with strong WEP and SSID keys, it is far more likely that anyone wanting to leech bandwidth will move on to a network that is less secure.
		Then, depending upon which WEP mode is selected, the string is 'sliced' to the appropriate byte length for the mode and the result is passed back to the database and displayed upon the screen.

		WEP is designed to deter eavesdroppers and prevent unauthorized connections to wireless LANs.
		WEP uses the RC4 encryption algorithm, which uses the same key to scramble and descramble the packets.
		WEP2--an encryption protocol that may be adopted for 802.11i--would be easier to implement on top of the existing WEP infrastructure, but many experts are concerned that it is not secure enough.

		WEP, the encryption standard for 802.11, only encrypts the data packets not the 802.11 management packets and the SSID is in the beacon and probe management messages.
		The WEP encrypted may be turned on, but if it is not enforced, a client without encryption with the proper SSID can still access that base station.

	What is WEP Encryption for Wireless Network?
		WEP is not difficult to crack, and using it reduces performance slightly.
		The WEP concept of passphrase is introduced so that you do not have to enter complicated strings for keys by hand.
		WEP is not necessary if you have a gaming console such as PlayStation or Xbox, and there are no other computers on the network.

	802.11 Wireless Network (Airport) Security
		WPA is designed to replace WEP (Wireless Equivalent Privacy), the optional encryption system that was use in Apple's Airport and most other 802.11/Wi-Fi wireless networking systems prior to 2003 and WPA.
		WPA is much more secure than WEP, however if you are using personal or shared key mode, passwords should still be changed periodically to reduce the impact of leakage via employee turnover, carelessness or social engineering.
		In the past we recommended that users of WEP change their password once or even twice a day to reduce the chance of break-ins.

		WEP encrypts the data portion of each packet exchanged on the 802.11b network using either a 40-bit or 128-bit encryption algorithm.
		In addition, WEP is also used in conjunction with the optional Shared Key Authentication algorithm to prevent unauthorized devices from associating with an 802.11b network.
		The two devices will communicate as long as the AP’s WEP Key 2 is the same as the client’s WEP Key 2 and the AP’s WEP Key 3 is the same as the client’s WEP Key 3.

	Wired Equivalent Privacy - a Whatis.com definition - see also: WEP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security protocol, specified in the IEEE Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) standard, 802.11b, that is designed to provide a wireless local area network (WLAN) with a level of security and privacy comparable to what is usually expected of a wired LAN.
		A wired local area network (LAN) is generally protected by physical security mechanisms (controlled access to a building, for example) that are effective for a controlled physical environment, but may be ineffective for WLANs because radio waves are not necessarily bound by the walls containing the network.
		WEP seeks to establish similar protection to that offered by the wired network's physical security measures by encrypting data transmitted over the WLAN.

	Slashdot \| Chair of IEEE 802.11 Responds to WEP Security Flaws
		The acronym WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and from the outset the goals for WEP have been clear, namely to provide an equivalent level of privacy as is ordinarily present with a wired LAN.
		WEP is not intended to be a complete security solution, but, just as with physical security in the wired LAN case, should be supplemented with additional security mechanisms such as access control, end-to-end encryption, password protections, authentication, virtual private networks, and firewalls, whenever the value of the data being protected justifies such concern.
		Given the goals for Wired Equivalent Privacy, WEP has been, and continues to be, a very effective deterrent against the vast majority of attackers that might attempt to compromise the privacy of a wireless LAN, ranging from casual snoopers to sophisticated hackers armed with substantial money and resources.

	WEP: Dead Again, Part 1
		This article is the first of a two-part series that looks at the new generation of WEP cracking tools for WiFi networks, which offer dramatically faster speeds for penetration testers over the previous generation of tools.
		Sure, maybe some next-generation WEP attacks will arise one day that will change everything, but WEP is okay today for all but the most sensitive networks.
		Because of this weakness, a great number of WEP encrypted networks are vulnerable to dictionary or brute force attacks that only require the capture of a single encrypted data packet to attempt.

	CommsDesign - Combating WEP Weaknesses: Securing WLANs with IPSec
		The problem, however, is that WEP's use of a static key does little to prevent hackers from cracking into corporate WLAN structures, thus potentially creating gaping security holes within a large number of corporate networks.
		In WEP, each AP employs a single key to encrypt and decrypt traffic; this same single key is disseminated to each client that is granted access to the wireless network.
		According to Walker, because the WEP base key is static, the key size is irrelevant; in effect WEP employs 24-b security with a total of 2^24 possible keys for each base key.
