Practical attacks against WEP and WPA (2009, background): “The .rst version of the IEEE 802.11 standard supported a basic mechanism for protecting such networks named Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP).”
Security in mobile ad hoc networks: challenges and solutions (2004, background): “These attacks are based on the fact that the initial output in the RC4 key stream is disproportionally affected by a small number of key bits, particularly the prefix and postfix parts of the key [23].”
Key Reinstallation Attacks: Forcing Nonce Reuse in WPA2 (2017, background): “After researchers showed thatWired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) was fundamentally broken [30, 65], the IEEE offered a more robust solution in the 802.”

TinySec: a link layer security architecture for wireless sensor networks (2004, background): “However, security researchers quickly found WEP to be thoroughly flawed [12, 20, 38, 42]: its 24-bit IVs are too short; the CRC checksum fails to protect integrity; and, naive use of the IV to diversify RC4’s key enables devastating cryptanalytic related-key attacks.”
