[1] "New encryption technology closes WLAN security loopholes" Next Comm has launched new wireless LAN security technology called Key Hopping. The technology aims to close security gaps in Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). It uses the MD5 (message digest, version 5) algorithm that allows for rapid changes in encryption keys used, some as often as every three seconds, denying hackers the time they need to piece together an encryption pattern.
