Based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) defined in the National Institute of Standards and Technology's FIPS Publication 197, AES-CCMP is a symmetric block cipher that can encrypt and decrypt data using keys of 128, 192, and 256 bits. AES-CCMP is superior to WEP encryption and is defined in the IEEE 802.11i standard.

Extensible Authentication Protocol. A protocol that WPA uses to authorize user access to wireless networks. Common implementations include EAP-FAST and EAP-MD5.

EAP-FAST is a two-phase implementation of the EAP authentication protocol:

•Phase 0, provisioning. Provision client with a credential called PAC (Protected Access Credentials).

•Phase 1, authentication. Use the PAC to establish a tunnel with the server and authenticate the username and password.

See also AAA and EAP.

Servers that use EAP to provide dynamic, session-specific wireless encryption keys, central user administration, and authentication between clients and access points. EAP-MD5 uses MD5 hashing on client and challenge passwords.
