WEP Key -
The security code for a Wi-Fi access point using WEP. It is a series of hexadecimal digits (0-9 and
A-F).
WEP Key ID -
WEP encryption allows four keys. The user and the wireless access point start with the base WEP
Key, then add one of the four WEP Key IDs to extend the characters and strengthen security.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) -
A slightly stronger wireless security protocol than WEP.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) -
Higher level of wireless security than WPA.
WPA PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access, Pre-Shared Key) -
A “key”, or password, that is shared between a
wireless access point and the members of the WLAN. In this case, the PSK uses WPA encryption for security.
