Re: faster?

AES is an encryption method, WEP is a communications protocol. They aren't directly comparable. But 802.11i will be much more secure than WEP.

Re: faster?

It'd be more "apples and apples" to compare AES with RC4, the encryption method used by WEP.

AES succeeds 3DES as the gov'ment's encryption method of choice. A proper implementation of AES is a helluva lot more computationally efficient than 3DES. This means your PDA can now not only support WPA 2.0 but also IPSec.

That's good to hear, WEP is laughably insecure.
