Wireless security is a key concern for any wireless network installed. Wireless networks will broadcast it’s presence for anyone to connect to it. Today, wireless

security has advanced to a level where it is virtually impenetrable.

There are mainly two forms of wireless encryption and they are called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). WEP was the rst

security method developed. It is a low level encryption but better than no encryption. WPA is the newest encryption protocol. With the advanced WPA2

standard wireless networks have nally reach a point where the security is strong enough to give users the peace of mind when installing wireless networks.

**Hexadecimal (HEX) digits consist of the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F.

*ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a code that represents English letters using

numbers ranging from 0-127.

WEP provides two variations called Open System and Shared Key.

Open System sends a request to the access point and if the key used matches the one congured on the access point, the access point will return a success

message back to the wireless client. If the key does not match the one congured on the access point, the access point will deny the connection request from

the wireless client.

Shared Key sends a request to the access point and if the key used matches the one congured on the access point, the access point will send a challenge

to the client. The client will then again send a conrmation of the same key back to the access point where the access point will either return a successful or a

denial packet back to the wireless client.
