What are the options for creating keys in WEP?

What will be an ideal response?


IEEE 802.11WEP shared secret keys must be a minimum of 64 bits in length. Most vendors add an option to use a larger 128-bit shared secret key for added security (a longer key is more difficult to break).Keys are created by the user entering the same string of either ASCII or hexadecimal characters on both the device and the AP. The options for creating keys are:
* 64-bit key-Created by entering 5 ASCII characters (for example 5y7js) or 10 hexadecimal characters (for example 0x456789ABCD) (the 0x preceding the characters indicate it is a hexadecimal number).
* 128-bit key-Created by entering 13 ASCII characters (for example 98jui2wss35u4) or 26 hexadecimal characters (for example 0x3344556677889900AABBCCDDEE).
* Passphrase-Created by entering a specific number of ASCII characters (for example christmasholiday), which then generates a hexadecimal key.
