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.

The Windfall Elimination Provision (abbreviated WEP [1]) was a statutory provision in United States law [2] which affects benefits paid by the Social Security Administration under Title II of the Social Security Act.
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 [2] WEP was superseded in 2003 by WPA, a quick alternative at the time to improve security over WEP.
At issue are the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO), both of which were introduced decades ago and both of which have drawn criticism for restricting Social ...
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]
The Social Security Fairness Act, one of the most bipartisan bills in Congress this session, aims to repeal WEP and GPO. The House voted to pass the legislation Nov. 12, and the Senate approved it ...
A well-chosen WEP gives a decision maker a clear and unambiguous estimate upon which to base a decision. Ineffective WEPs are vague or misleading about the likelihood of an event. An ineffective WEP places the decision maker in the role of the analyst, increasing the likelihood of poor or snap decision making.
