5.3 WEP and WPA Encryption
WEP is an data encryption algorithm, which protects Wireless LAN data in the network against
eavesdropping. WEP has been found that it has some security problems. The adapter supports
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) that combines IEEE 802.1x and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol) technologies. Client users are required to authorize before accessing to APs or AP
Routers, and the data transmitted in the network is encrypted/decrypted by a dynamically
changed secret key. This adapter is also built-in AES engine which 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.
