QUESTION POSED ON: 19 July 2002
What do you think about various wireless vendors' solutions that automatically rotate WEP keys periodically?

>
They are a reasonable approach. Cisco and Cabletron both have solutions available in their access points. However, for a truly secure wireless LAN, you should use a VPN, instead of just using these WEP bandages.
