WLAN Security Establishing IEEE 802.11 Security Authentication: Open WLANs Edit Security Authentication: PSK (WEP) Authentication: PSK (WEP) (Cont.) WLAN security protocol defined in the 802.11 specification: Operates at Layer 2 and does not offer end-to-end security Uses key plus initialization vector: Initialization vector is a random number generated through the WEP algorithm Key and initialization vector are used in encryption of the data Three user-specified key lengths: 40-bit key, combined with initialization vector to yield 64 bits 104-bit key, combined with initialization vector t
