Hi,
which one is more secure for wlans, WEP with 128 bit, or WPA-PSK?
as far as I understand it (please correct me if neccessary), WPA-PSK
is basically WEP128 but with a changing key which is sent to the
clients on connect, encrypted with the WPA passphrase?
so i think WPA should be more secure than WEP with always the same
key?
bye,
MH
