WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is a term commonly used in internet slang to refer to a security protocol used for wireless networks. WEP was designed to encrypt and protect the communication between devices connected to a Wi-Fi network.

Example 1:

If you want to secure your home Wi-Fi network, make sure to enable WEP encryption. This will prevent unauthorized users from accessing your network without the correct encryption key.

Example 2:

Some older devices may only support WEP encryption, but it is important to note that WEP is no longer considered secure. It is recommended to use more advanced security protocols like WPA or WPA2 for better protection against potential threats.

Synonyms:
Wired Equivalent Privacy, WEP2, WEP64
