I'm no cryptographer, but I studied computer science back in the day, and every undergrad had to know some encoding theory. There was always a short bit on encryption (because we encrypt passwords and so on) and even that short bit told us that repeated, predictable bits, especially at fixed locations in the message, make it very easy to crack.
So did the 802.11 committee forget to have anyone on the WEP committee that ever studied computer science? -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24049 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
