WEP Cloaking for Legacy Encryption Protection

Tags:
network security

Overview Motorola's WEP Cloaking module leverages the Motorola Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) using wireless monitoring sensors to protect handheld devices, in use at thousands of retailers world-wide, from passive and active attempts to crack WEP encryption keys. These wireless handheld devices, such as point of sale systems, barcode scanners and VoIP handsets commonly support only WEP encryption which can be easily broken with popular cracking tools. Motorola Wireless IPS in combination with the WEP Cloaking module provides enterprises peace of mind from security and compliance issues.
