WEP is an authentication algorithm, which protects authorized Wireless LAN users against
eavesdropping. WEP has been found that it has some security problems. TKIP is a temporary quick-fix
method defined in IEEE 802.11i standard to quickly overcome the inherent weaknesses in WEP security.
AES has been developed to 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.
