&gt; WEP and WPA are completely different protocols.<p>Nope, I&#x27;m not thinking of WPA&#x2F;WPA2; I&#x27;m just destroyed here by a lack of my own ability to properly communicate things sometimes.<p>At the high level, &quot;SSL&quot; is a term for an obsolete standard that encrypts connections, protocols be damned, supplanted by the term and the protocol changes that make up TLS. WEP is an obsolete standard for encrypting wireless connections (so is WPA), and WPA2 is the newest version. However, often we&#x27;ll hear technical and non-technical people talk about how they implement &quot;SSL&quot; even though that&#x27;s not technically the correct term to use anymore. Rarely do people use &quot;WEP&quot; to mean WPA.<p>Does that make more sense?
