Technology
- WiFi
- Technology allowing users to connect a variety of devices in a network, such as computers, game consoles, PDAs... without any wires. The main use is wireless sharing of a home high-speed Internet connection.
- 802.11g
- WiFi standard allowing for data rates of up to 54Mbps using the 2.4GHz frequency band.
- 802.11b
- Earlier generation WiFi standard allowing for data rates of up to 11Mbps using the 2.4GHz frequency band.
- WEP
- Security protocol for wireless networks using encryption based on a fixed 64-bit or 128-bit key being used only once, at the beginning of the decryption phase. To decrypt a transmission, each client on the wireless network must use the same 64-bit or 128-bit key. WEP is part of the 802.11 standard, with the goal of ensuring authentication (access is only authorized for those who know the WEP key) and confidentiality (encryption). A WEP key is composed of numbers 0 to 9 and letters A to F (example: A123BCD45E).
- WPA
- High level of security, specially designed for environments such as a small business or the home, using a pre-shared key.
