Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is not a secure encryption due to a flaw in the algorithm.

The draft paper by Borisov, Goldberg, and Wagner presents a number of practical attacks on 802.11 Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). The right way to fix them, as the paper points out, is to rework the 802.11 protocol to use better encryption and message authentication algorithms. Unfortunately a huge infrastructure has grown up around 802.11 and large numbers of transceiver/modems are installed.

The way to secure 802.11 is to use Virtual Private Networking (VPN) over 802.11 and treat the Acees Point (AP) as unsecure. TNTmax maxGATEWAY firewall/VPN solution has solution plug-in called maxWIRELESS to secure wireless network. maxWIRELESS proxy all wireless traffic to the firewall for authentication, trusted user will be granted access and VPN connection to there network.
