Abstract(in English) Tews, Weinmann, and Phshkin have shown a key recovery attack against WEP (the TWP attack), which is the modification of Klein's key recovery attack against RC4. The TWP attack allows an attacker to recover a 104-bit secret key from 40,000 captured packets with probability 0.5 and from 85,000 captured packets with probability 0.95. In this paper, we improve the probability of recovering the key when the number of captured packets is less, efficiently. For example, if 10,000 packets are captured, then the probability of recovering it is three times as large as than that of the TWP attack. If 20,000 packets are done, then it is twice as large as than that of the TWP attack. Our attack can find the secret key in a few seconds.
