AES is short for Advanced Encryption Standard. The AES cipher is
specified as a number of repetitions of transformation rounds that
convert the input plaintext into the final output of ciphertext. Each
round consists of several processing steps, including one that depends
on the encryption key. A set of reverse rounds are applied to transform
ciphertext back into the original plaintext using the same encryption key.
TKIP is short for “Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP scrambles the
keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking
feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered with.
