WEP, WAP, IPSEC

Tuesday, July 5th, 2005 at 6:32 AM | 1 comment Category: Meryl's Notes Blog

A reader asks about WEP, WAP, and IPSEC. Anyone an expert on these topics? I would appreciate it if you or someone you know can help the reader whose question is below. Contact me, if you have recommendations for people to interview on the topic.

“We’ve yet to see global standardization for wireless access and throughput (802.11a/b/g/n) and encryption (WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy, WAP — Wireless Application Protocol and IPSec VPN — IP security virtual private networks, for example). Because of the lack of standards, we’re struggling to stay up to date without spending hours of training or a fortune on figuring out what to use.

“What the heck are these things, and how do the average Tom, Dick, Harriet and Jane configure the system to send secure data with minimal spending and training time?” [ Answer the challenge ]

    Hi…well, I’m certainly not an expert, but I’m not convinced wireless networking is viable or cost-effective yet from personal experience. Our new wireless laptops seem to be great/fast at reading internet pages, transferring smaller files, but heavy networking is slow.

    I have put out some feelers with my technical contacts to see if I can find a guru to help us both! Cya.
