Each of the 64 hexadecimal characters encodes 4 bits of binary data, so the entire 64 characters is equivalent to 256 binary bits - which is the actual binary key length used by the WiFi WPA pre-shared key (PSK).

WEP encryption is being used.
hexadecimal numbers are the a positional numeral system with a radix, or base, of 16.16 distinct symbols are used in the hexadecimal numbers.
10 characters
Almost anything could be used in an encryption algorithm; the question is how to include it in the cryptographic sequence.
Mostly for performance - symmetric encryption is much much faster (order of magnitudes) than asymmetric encryption.
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.
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.
Two basic functions used in Encryption Algorithms are * Substitution * Transposition

data encryption the process of scrambling stored or transmitted information so that it is unintelligible until it is unscrambled by the intended recipient. Historically, data encryption has been used primarily to protect diplomatic and military secrets from foreign governments. It is also now used increasingly by the financial industry to protect money transfers, by merchants to protect credit-card information in electronic commerce, and by corporations to secure sensitive communications of proprietary information.
fot the past 25 years single des algorithm was used. But now triple des is used in atm cards for the encryption and decryption.
