WEP is kind of old so I'm guessing WPA or WPA2
Moose
The original standard released in 1999 was WEP. WEP uses the stream cipher RC4 for confidentiality. Exploitable weaknesses in this protocol prompted the development of WPA.
WPA was introduced as an interim solution while the 802.11i standard was developed. WPA added Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to WEP. TKIP encryption replaces WEP's 40-bit or 128-bit encryption key that must be manually entered on wireless access points and devices and does not change. TKIP is a 128-bit per-packet key, meaning that it dynamically generates a new key for each packet and thus prevents collisions.
WPA2 - also known as IEEE 802.11i-2004 replaced the TKIP encryption protocol of WPA with CCMP to provide additional security. CCMP is an AES-based encryption mechanism that is stronger than TKIP. (CCMP is sometimes referred to simply as AES instead of CCMP.) Equipment developed under 802.11i was backwards compatible with earlier equipment and supported the use of WPA and WEP.
802.11n requires AES encryption to be enabled on WLANs used by 802.11n clients.

What kind of encryptions us used with 802.11b?
WEP encryption is being used.
What encryption is used in Bluetooth 3 und 4 data transfers which are based on the 80211 PHY?
Hi folks,as BT 3.0 and 4.0 use the 802.11 MAC/PHY for data transfers I wonder which encryption is used for this kind of connections? Is it still E0, AES or any other encryption standard?Moreover: How is the encryption key for the data link exchanged? Is the BT control channel used for that (secured by E0)?Cheers
What kind of encryption uses the concept of public keys?
Asymmetric encryption employs the use of public/private key pairs.
Can pulsars be used for encryption?
Almost anything could be used in an encryption algorithm; the question is how to include it in the cryptographic sequence.
Why is symmetric encryption used?
Mostly for performance - symmetric encryption is much much faster (order of magnitudes) than asymmetric encryption.
Why should prime numbers only be used as encryption keys?
prime numbers only be used as encryption keys as in encryption the numbers are coded inj the form of 0s and 1s ,i.e binary form.
Can you use 80211n router for 802.11g adapter cards?
Yes, almost every n-router available supports b and g-modes too.
What does aes encryption stand for?
AES is an acronym for Advanced Encryption Standard. AES is a variation of Rijndael. Is it used for encryption of electronic data and was established by NIST in 2001.
What are the 2 basic functions used in encryption algorithm?
Two basic functions used in Encryption Algorithms are * Substitution * Transposition

What are the encryption algorithms used in ATM?
fot the past 25 years single des algorithm was used. But now triple des is used in atm cards for the encryption and decryption.
