WEP – Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security mechanism for wireless local area
networks. It is designed for 802.11 standard to offer an equal level of security as that of a
wired LAN. Through the configurations of encryption, WEP aims to provide security while the
nodes with wireless devices are transferring or receiving data packets over radio waves.
WLAN – Wireless local area network (WLAN) receives and transmits data over the air by
using radio frequency (RF) technology. The vital significance of WLAN is it minimizes the
requirements for wired connections and provides not only data connectivity but also user
mobility. Without the constraint of physical location, wireless LAN allows clients to transmit and
receive data via high-frequency radio waves rather than wires.
