Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) WEP protocol is a security protocol to protect privacy of the wireless LAN communication. Original WEP was broken by the FMS attack in 2001. FMS attack-resistant WEP implementation removes weak IVs to resist the FMS attack. We have already proposed a known IV attack to FMS attack-resistant WEP implementation, and have pointed out that most WEP's IVs become weak IV. When $64$-bit session key, the threat of the practical attack for the FMS attack-resistant WEP implementation increases greatly by the known IV attack. When $128$-bit session key, the known IV attack recover $104$-bit secret key of the FMS attack-resistant WEP implementation within realistically possible computational times. In this paper, we propose more efficient key recovery attack. The proposed attack chooses weak IVs with strong bias from all weak IVs, and is a practical attack for the FMS attack-resistant WEP implementation of $128$-bit session key. Therefore, the FMS attack-resistant WEP implementation is insecure.
