Abstract: WEP protocol is the security standard in wireless LAN,which is used to provide the equivalent privacy as the privacy in wired network. An analysis of the working and encrypting way is discussed in the paper . Then, the function and security vulnerabilities of the WEP algorithm are presented. At last, the method to prove the data security in wireless network by VPN is advised. The advancements of this method is briefly analyzed .

摘要： 有线对等协议(WEP)算法是无线局域网的一种数据安全传输算法,用以在无线网络中提供与有线网络等同的安全性能。分析了WEP算法的安全漏洞与其可能的攻击方式,并将WEP2算法与WEP算法比较,分析了WEP2算法的主要安全缺陷并提出了一种解决措施。
