The WEP keys are calculated by encrypting the current UNIX time + using the AES cypher with a given constant key. aeswepd strengthens the + security of the weak hardware based, standards compliant WEP technology. + . + aeswepd may use up to three hardware WEP keys: the first is set to the + current, the second to the previous and the third to the next key. This is + useful when working with not completely synchronized RTCs. If only a single + hardware WEP key is used, you have to synchronize your RTCs so that no + connectivity interrupts may occur. + . + aeswepd has several advantages over other solutions to improve WEP: it is easy + to use, doesn't involve computing intensive algorithms, doesn't increase + traffic latency. On the other hand it has several disadvantages as well: it + requires an installation of aeswepd on all network members, it is not + standardized, currently only APs which run a flavour of Linux may be used with + it. |
