WEP (also known as Wired Equivalent Privacy, or some times incorrectly as Wireless Encryption Protocol) is a very weak method of encryption used in the past on wireless devices. Modern methods enable near instantaneous defeat of this protocol and can sniff packets off the air in no time.

So WEP is hardly any security at all.
