The 802.11 standard describes the communication that occurs in wireless local area networks (LANs). The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm is used to protect wireless communication from eavesdropping. A secondary function of WEP is to prevent unauthorized access …

 A passive eavesdropper can intercept all wireless traffic, until an IV collision occurs. By XORing two packets that use the same IV, the attacker obtains the XOR of the two plaintext messages. The resulting XOR can be used to infer …

When setting up a system which strictly demands the usage of WEP encryption for
all data transmissions, all the WavePOINTs in the system must be configured to
have the parameter “Deny non-encrypted Data” set to ON (checked in the tickbox).
This will assure …

The 802.11b standard includes a provision for encryption called WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). Depending on the manufacturer and the model of the NIC card and access point, there are two levels of WEP commonly available - one based on a …
