Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is an encryption algorithm that protects authorized
Wireless LAN users against eavesdropping and is implemented in BreezeNET DS.11
units. WEP is defined in the IEEE 802.11 standard. This encryption is applicable
for both authentication and data. It supports key length of either 64 bits or 128
bits, including a 24 bit Initialization Vector.
DS.11 units can use one of the following authentication algorithms (as defined in
the IEEE 802.11b standard).
♦ Open System: Any station in the WLAN can associate with any other unit and
receive and transmit data freely (null authentication).
♦ Shared Key: Only units using a shared key encryption are allowed to associate
with each other, provided they use the same WEP Key.
The default authentication algorithm is Open System.
