Sally is a network admin for a small company. She was asked to install wireless accesspoints in the building. In looking at the specifications for the access-points, she sees that all of them offer WEP.
Which of these are true about WEP? Select the best answer.
A . Stands for Wireless Encryption Protocol
B . It makes a WLAN as secure as a LAN
C . Stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy
D . It offers end to end security
Answer: C
Explanation:
WEP is intended to make a WLAN as secure as a LAN but because a WLAN is not constrained by wired, this makes access much easier. Also, WEP has flaws that make it less secure than was once thought. WEP does not offer end-to-end security. It only attempts to protect the wireless portion of the network.
