Wireless Encryption Transparent to the client

Hello,

Does anyone know if there is a way to encrypt the data stream going over the air without any configuration done on the client? Here is the scenario. A Hotel wants to roll out free high speed wireless to the guests. They would like to allow association to the AP with no SSID required. They will be using BBSM to force users to put in a code to get Internet access. They want to be able to say to business travelers that they offer "secure" wireless Internet access. Does anyone know a way to pull this off? They can't have guests entering WEP keys and they need to to be tranparent to the guest. They may be OK if the guess has to manully enter an SSID but no more than that.

Thanks in advance for any and all replies!

I don't know of any way you can associate to an AP without an SSID. This is just how it works.
