What is the difference between WEP and WAP Encryption?

In this world, some people (usually hackers) are still confused between WEP and WAP type of Encryption that's why today I am going to write an detailed post on it later below. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy and WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol mainly. Both are the security encryption used by the browsers. So lets differentiate them below.

WEP Vs. WAP-

1. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)- It is a weak security algorithm for the wireless networks because its name implies that it is as secure as a wired connection. It should be cracked easily with the help of some tools which I gonna discuss below. Many Flaws has been discovered also by the hackers to crack its key very safely.

2. Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)- It is a technical standard for accessing information over a mobile wireless network. A WAP browser is a web browser for mobile devices such as mobile phones (called "cellular phones" in some countries) that uses the protocol. It is the most secure and best option to secure your wireless network. Cracking of it is much more difficult than WEP because in it, we have to use Dictionary and Brute-force attacks. Thus, takes long time to crack or sometimes not.

That's it! Any Doubts are Welcomed in the Comment Box.
