Description: A UNIX daemon for changing WEP keys of WLAN devices in constant intervals
aeswepd is a UNIX daemon for changing WEP keys of WLAN devices in constant
intervals. 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.
