The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) standard was the first encryption standard implemented within an IEEE 802.11 network. It's designed to provide data confidentiality during all wireless communications between an access point and a client. WEP uses the RC4 encryption cipher/algorithm to ensure confidentiality during transmission; however, the WEP encryption standard uses a 24-bit initialization vector (IV). The IV, in this case, is used to create a stream of ciphers for the RC4 encryption algorithm.
The following are the various key sizes for WEP:
WEP has been known for its design flaws over the years and is considered ...
