7. What is WEP?
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a
64(40)-bit shared key algorithm.
8. What is WPA?
WPA is an acronym for Wi-Fi Protected Access. It is a security protocol for 802.11
wireless networks. WPA can provide data protection with the use of encryption and
the use of access controls and user authentication.
9. What is WPA2?
In addition to WPA, WPA2 provides a stronger encryption mechanism through
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
10. What is a MAC Address?
The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique number assigned by the
manufacturer to any Ethernet networking device, such as a network adapter, that
allows the network to identify it at the hardware level. For all practical purposes, this
number is usually permanent. Unlike IP addresses, which can change every time a
computer logs on to the network, the MAC address of a device stays the same,
making it a valuable identifier for the network.
