WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
A wireless
security protocol, specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard, which is
designed to provide a wireless local area network (WLAN) with a level
of security and privacy comparable to that usually expected of a wired
LAN. Security is at two different levels; 40-bit and 128-bit
encryption. The higher the bit number, the more secure the encryption.
