Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security protocol designed to provide a wireless local area network (WLAN) with a level of security and privacy comparable to what is usually expected of a wired LAN. It was introduced as part of the 802.11 standard in the late 1990s to protect wireless communications by encrypting data transmissions.
However, WEP has several vulnerabilities and weaknesses that have been exposed over the years, leading to it being considered an outdated and insecure method for securing wireless networks. As a result, it has largely been replaced by more secure protocols such as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and WPA2.
