WEP was included as the privacy component of the original IEEE 802.11 [8] standard ratified in 1997. [9] [10] WEP uses the stream cipher RC4 for confidentiality, [11] and the CRC-32 checksum for integrity. [12] It was deprecated in 2004 and is documented in the current standard. [13] Basic WEP encryption: RC4 keystream XORed with plaintext
WEP used a 64-bit or 128-bit encryption key that must be manually entered on wireless access points and devices and does not change. TKIP employs a per-packet key, meaning that it dynamically generates a new 128-bit key for each packet and thus prevents the types of attacks that compromised WEP. [4]

War emergency power (WEP) is a throttle setting that was first present on some American World War II military aircraft engines. For use in emergency situations, it produced more than 100% of the engine's normal rated power for a limited amount of time, often about five minutes.
WEP is an old IEEE 802.11 standard from 1997. [1] It is a notoriously weak security standard: the password it uses can often be cracked in a few minutes with a basic laptop computer and widely available software tools. [2] WEP was superseded in 2003 by WPA, a quick alternative at the time to improve security over WEP.
The WEP reduces Social Security benefits for individuals who get a pension from a job that didn’t require them to pay taxes into the program (despite having worked other jobs that did), while ...
A recent hearing by the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee’s Subcommittee on Social Security concluded that the WEP and GPO deny public servants “their hard-earned retirement benefits ...
The most common solution is wireless traffic encryption. Modern access points come with built-in encryption. The first generation encryption scheme, WEP, proved easy to crack; the second and third generation schemes, WPA and WPA2, are considered secure [7] if a strong enough password or passphrase is used.
