FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -There are three types of wifi encryption protocols: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), and Wi-Fi Protected Access Version 2 (WPA2). These encryptions have one thing in common-protecting the data on your network-but the main difference lies in how well they do so.

Detailed explanation-2: -WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and WPA stands for Wireless Protected Access. WPA2 is the second version of the WPA standard. Using some encryption is always better than using none, but WEP is the least secure of these standards, and you should not use it if you can avoid it.

Detailed explanation-3: -WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a wireless security protocol released in 2003 to address the growing vulnerabilities of its predecessor, WEP. The WPA Wi-Fi protocol is more secure than WEP, because it uses a 256-bit key for encryption, which is a major upgrade from the 64-bit and 128-bit keys used by the WEP system.

Detailed explanation-4: -WEP encrypts traffic using a 64-or 128-bit key in hexadecimal. This is a static key, which means all traffic, regardless of device, is encrypted using a single key. A WEP key allows computers on a network to exchange encoded messages while hiding the messages’ contents from intruders.

Detailed explanation-5: -These Wireless Security Protocols are WEP, WPA, WPA2 and WPA3. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) WPA3 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 3)
