What is the meaning of data encryption and its requirements of 64/128 bit WEP encryption (TKIP)?
Data encryption is the process of scrambling transmitted information so that it is unintelligible until it is unscrambled by the intended recipient, using a key only known to the recipient. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is a security protocol for wireless networks. WEP encrypts data over radio waves so that it is protected from the transmission end to the receiving end. 64/128 bit is the number of bits of data used for the encryption. TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integration Protocol. It is an improved data encryption by scrambling the keys using a hashing algorithm and by adding an integrity checking feature that ensures that the keys have not been tampered with.
