WEP
Stands for "Wired Equivalent Privacy." WEP is a security protocol for Wi-Fi networks.

The goal of WEP is to make wireless networks as secure as wired networks, such as those connected by Ethernet cables.
WPA/WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) are two security protocols and security certification programs developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance to secure wireless computer networks.
