7.3.2 Static WEP/Shared WEP Encryption
WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and
the access points (AP) to keep network communications private. Both the wireless
stations and the access points must use the same WEP key.
There are two types of WEP authentication namely, Open System (Static WEP)
and Shared Key (Shared WEP).
Open system is implemented for ease-of-use and when security is not an issue.
The wireless station and the AP or peer computer do not share a secret key. Thus
