Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A WEP key can be either 64 bits or 128 bits long. In ASCII characters, a 64-bit key requires 5 characters, while a 128-bit key requires 13 characters. However, most systems round up the number of characters to 8 for a 64-bit key and 16 for a 128-bit key. Therefore, the best choice for the length of a WEP key that can be represented as a passphrase in ASCII characters is 16, which corresponds to a 128-bit key.
