Problem: 40-Bit ASCII Generator
n Folds the ASCII string into a 32-bit number
(2^40 now 2^32)
n Use this in a PRNG to generate the 40-bit
key, same key every 2^24
n Folding method guarantees only 2^21 unique
sets of WEP keys
n It takes about 35 seconds of time on a 500MHz PIII
n 128-bit Generator
n Not the same problems
n Relies on strength of ASCII test and MD5
