PERFORMANCE AND SECURITY EVALUATION BY USING SHA3 IN WEP

In this paper we have discussed the wireless networks, security issues in wireless networks, and WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy Protocol) .We have given the details of various limitations of WEP, how they can be eliminated by various cryptographic hash algorithms. We also proposed that how by replacing CRC-32 in WEP with SHA-3 can lead to improvement in the performance of WEP as compare to, when SHA-1 is used in that place.
