Create or Edit a WEP KeyWired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides confidentiality for wireless communication. It uses the Rivest Cipher 4 (RC4) stream cipher algorithm to encrypt and decrypt data as it travels over the wireless link. You can store the WEP key locally on the security device or on an external authentication server. Wireless network users store the same key on their systems.
