Is there a C library for WEP, WPA, and WPA2

Question

Is there a library much like how openssl is imported into C programs that would allow easy access to WEP, WPA, and WPA2 functions?

I have never programmed in C and a friend is asking.

You can also use wpa_cli for this purpose. – neo Oct 23 '13 at 05:50 — neo, Oct 23 '13 at 05:50

There's wpa_supplicant which probably fits your needs. It's a program, not a library, but it should be possible to modify it to be used as a library if necessary. However, wpa_supplicant doesn't support all OSes and chipsets as wifi encryption is (in contrast to SSL/TLS) very dependant on the underlying hardware.

I think Open1X is what you want.
