WPA
Encryption:
Select the data encryption method for the WPA mode. There are three types that you can
choose, TKIP, AES, TKIP+AES.
TKIP (Temporary Key Integrity Protocol) takes the original master key only as a starting
point and derives its encryption keys mathematically from this master key. Then it
regularly changes and rotates the encryption keys so that the same encryption key will
never be used twice.
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) provides security between client workstations
operating in ad hoc mode. It uses a mathematical ciphering algorithm that employs
variable key sizes of 18, 19 or 56 bits.
TKIP+AES combine the features and functions of TKIP and AES.
