4.18 What is Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)?
The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, pronounced
tee-kip, is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for
wireless LANs. TKIP is the next generation of WEP, the
Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used to secure
802.11 wireless LANs. TKIP provides per-packet key
mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying
mechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP.
4.19 What is Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)?
Security issues are a major concern for wireless
LANs, AES is the U.S. government’s next
-generation
cryptography algorithm, which will replace DES and
3DES.
