This week, Michael Ossmann of SecurityFocus released an alarming article on the recent advancements in wireless LAN encryption cracking that put manyWLAN networks once thought to be secure at risk.

Everything that I've always read says that WPA is superior to any form of WEP in almost every way.

A group of German cryptographic researchers (Erik Tews, Andrei Pychkine, and Ralf-Philipp Weinmann) at the cryptography and computer algebra group at the technical university Darmstadt in Germany have ...

Does anyone know how common it is for wireless networks to use multiple WEP keys? And how do they cycle between them? Google shows references to using dynamic WEP keys, and tumbling WEP keys, but ...

The initial 802.11 security standard, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), was clearly insecure. As a result, the wireless LAN industry has been developing a quartet of ...

Q: An option in our access point interface calls for the configuration of four WEP keys. Why would you need four instead of one? Is it in order to share the encryption/decryption load across clients?

Are you worried about the security of your 802.11b wireless local area network (WLAN) because you're using plain-old wired equivalent privacy (WEP)? If you're still relying on WEP alone, you should be ...

The continued usage of WEP in wireless networks is staggering. In fact, I’m not sure why it’s allowed as an option at all. You have two main security decisions to make when setting up a wireless ...
