But beginning two years ago, hackers have been able to crack WEP and hitch a ride onto Wi-Fi networks. As a result, some companies aren't adding Wi-Fi networks, said David Cohen, co-founder of the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA). "WEP is baseline security and never meant to be anything more than that," Cohen said. "It's not just hype. It can be compromised.".

Microsoft is perhaps the biggest company yet to make a commitment to the new security basquiat faces montage iphone case standard called 802.1x, a standard set of instructions that is supposed to strengthen WEP, It adds new levels of security that WEP does not have, Barkley said 802.1x also lets network administrators control just how much access someone has to a corporate or home wireless network--something WEP can't do now, Other security measures also are available, such as adding a Virtual Private Network (VPN) into a Wi-Fi network, VPNs are private "tunnels" between a PC and a corporate network, Boingo Wireless, which sells access to Wi-Fi networks in hundreds of Starbucks coffee shops, is among the growing number of companies using VPNs..

"You don't embed technology until it's really recognized as viable," he added. Microsoft will extend the security measures now found in its Windows XP operating system to Windows 2000 and the slimmer version of the OS used in handheld devices. Warren Barkley, Microsoft lead program manager for the Windows networking division, told attendees of the 802.11 West conference in Seattle on Monday to expect the enhanced security measures, called 802.1x, by August. This follows earlier announcements about implementing more security by spring 2002. About 150 companies and businesses have already signed up to test the new release, he said.
