All of the above are correct - if you mean in the wireless networking sense a hexedecimal key is code that is based in the Hex numeration.
You can get Hex convertors on the internet...

Another name for an Allen key perhaps.
It's a solid L-shaped bar with a hexagon profile, used a lot on bicycles.
Oooops, sorry just noticed what topic this question is under. A hex key in computing terms is a hexadecimal code normally used to protect something (for example, access to a wi-fi network). You've probably heard of 128-bit encryption, well that's a 32-hex code (a hexadecimal digit 0-F is made up from 4 bits).

Hex key, hex wrench, allen wrench. They are all the same thing. That little 'L' shaped tool. Usually come in a set. It is the little tool they give you with a garbage disposal.

It's like a screwdriver except with a hexagon drive bit instead of a cross shape or a flat shape.
They come in sets of bits for electric screwdrivers, or if they're individual keys they are usually L-shaped.
