Wireless security is a key concern for any wireless network. Unlike any other networking methods, wireless networks broadcast it’s presence for anyone to
connect to it. Today, wireless security has advanced to a level where it is virtually impenetrable.
There are mainly two forms of wireless encryption and they are called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). WEP was the rst
security method developed. It is a low level encryption but better than now encryption. WPA is the newest encryption standard and with the advanced WPA3
standard, wireless networks have nally reach a point where the security is strong enough to give users peace of mind when installing wireless networks.

WEP Open System will send a request to the access point and if the key used matches the one congured on the access point, the access point will return
a success message back to the wireless client. If the key does not match the one congured on the access point, the access point will deny the connection
request from the wireless client.
