Exactly! WEP has serious flaws. It's not end-to-end secure either.

But it doesn't make a WLAN as secure as a LAN, right?

It's just a basic layer of security, not end-to-end!

Yeah, WEP has major flaws, not reliable at all.

Wait, does it really make WLAN as secure as LAN? I doubt that.

I feel like I’ve seen WEP described as Wireless Encryption Protocol before, but I think that’s a common misconception.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think WEP does not provide end-to-end security, so D can't be right.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think WEP is supposed to make WLANs as secure as LANs, but it has a lot of vulnerabilities.

I remember WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, so I think option C is correct.

Ah, I see what they're getting at now. WEP was meant to provide the same level of security as a wired LAN, but it doesn't actually achieve that. So B is definitely not correct. I'm confident C is the right answer here.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to double-check my understanding. I know WEP has issues with security, so I don't think it offers end-to-end protection. I'm leaning towards C as the best answer, but I'll review the explanations just to be sure.

Okay, let me think this through. WEP is supposed to make a wireless network as secure as a wired one, but it has some flaws that make it less secure than we thought. I'm guessing the correct answer is C, since that matches what I remember about the name.
