The Wired Equivalent Privacy or WEP protocol is a security system used in wireless networking.
WEP generates keys for different connections by concatenating a connection-specific intialisation value with another secret value, and this creates a vulnerability. It can be broken by a related key attack. See for example, "Breaking 104 bit WEP in less than 60 seconds"[1].
