COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

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 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -WEP-Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is an authentication method where all users share the same key. WEP is not secure as other encryption types such as TKIP. TKIP-Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) uses the same encryption algorithm as WEP.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -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. WPA2 is the most secure of the three.
