| Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is the default. |
| TKIP provides a more secure encryption solution than WEP keys. The TKIP |
| process more frequently changes the encryption key used and better |
| ensures that the same key will not be |
| of WEP). TKIP uses a |
| points. The temporal key is combined with the client's MAC address and a |
| |
| ensures that each client station uses a different key to encrypt data. TKIP |
| uses RC4 to perform the encryption, which is the same as WEP. But TKIP |
| changes temporal keys every 10,000 packets and distributes them, thereby |
| greatly improving the security of the network. |
| Counter |
| IEEE 802.11i that uses the Advanced Encryption Algorithm (AES). It uses |
| a CCM combined with Cipher Block Chaining Counter mode |
| Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code |
| encryption and message integrity. |
| Both is where both TKIP and AES clients can associate with the access |
| point. WPA clients must have one of the following to be able to associate |
| with the AP: |
| • A valid TKIP key |
| • A valid CCMP (AES) key |
| Clients not configured to use |
