Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The IEEE 802.11 Committee developed a wireless security standard called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) in 1999. A few years later, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) replaced WEP as a more secure wireless standard. Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) is a term used to describe wireless networking technology and is not a specific security standard. Wireless Security Instruction Set is not a recognized term in wireless security standards.
