I've put this question in another forum but received no answers. I'm preparing to write the Security+ exam and I want no stone left un-understood:
What is the difference between WEP and WTLS? Don't they both act as encryption algorithms to protect wireless data?
My muddled mind thinks that WTLS encrypts upper layers of the TCP/IP stack and WEP protects the frames but this isn't sitting right with me.
Most reveiw questions I've answered always ask, "What is the best way to protect wireless networks?" The answer is always WEP. There is never any mention of WTLS so I'd appreciate a simple explanation of when to use WEP and when to use WTLS (or, why to use WEP vs. WTLS).
Thanks
