TKIP
Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol is an enhancement to
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption. It uses a set of
algorithms to rotate session keys. The protocol's enhanced encryption includes a per-packet
key mixing function, a
MIC (Message Integrity Check or Code ), an extended initialization vector
(IV) with sequencing rules, and a re-keying mechanism. The encryption keys are changed
(re-keyed) automatically and authenticated between devices after the re-key interval (either
a specified period of time, or after a specified number of packets has been
transmitted).
