3.3 WEP and WPA Encryption
WEP is an data encryption algorithm, which protects Wireless LAN data in the network
against eavesdropping. WEP has been found that it has some security problems. The
adapter supports WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) that combines IEEE 802.1x and TKIP
(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) technologies. Client users are required to authorize before
accessing to Aps or AP Routers, and the data transmitted in the network is
encrypted/decrypted by a dynamically changed secret key. This adapter has built-in AES
engine which ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information
and it is the most advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the wireless
network.
