Intercepting mobile communications: the insecurity of 802.11
TLDR
Several serious security flaws in the Wired Equivalent Privacy protocol are discovered, stemming from mis-application of cryptographic primitives, which lead to a number of practical attacks that demonstrate that WEP fails to achieve its security goals. Expand
Using the Fluhrer, Mantin, and Shamir Attack to Break WEP
TLDR
It is concluded that 802.11 WEP is totally insecure, and some recommendations are provided to make the attack more efficient. Expand
Unsafe at any key size; An analysis of the WEP encapsulation
TLDR
It is infeasible to achieve privacy with the WEP encapsulation by simply increasing key size, and the characteristics needed by any encryption algorithm that can effectively provide data privacy in a wireless environment are identified, and a replacement encapsulation is recommended. Expand
Weaknesses in the Key Scheduling Algorithm of RC4
TLDR
It is shown that RC4 is completely insecure in a common mode of operation which is used in the widely deployed Wired Equivalent Privacy protocol (WEP, which is part of the 802.11 standard), in which a fixed secret key is concatenated with known IV modifiers in order to encrypt different messages.
