Detailed explanation-1: -WEP 128: An enhanced encryption protocol combining a 104-bit key and a 24-bit initialization vector. WEP 64: The first-generation security standard for wireless. It could be exploited because of an encryption key that was vulnerable to decoding.
Detailed explanation-2: -WEP required the use of a 24-bit Initialization Vector (IV) along with either a 40-bit or a 104-bit secret key that was set by the administrator.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) used to be the standard form of encryption, but it’s no longer secure, because computing power has improved and hackers can now crack it easily. WEP security encrypts with a static key-one of the biggest reasons it’s no longer considered secure.
