A Comparative study of Counter mode with Cipher block chaining Message authentication code Protocol (CCMP) and Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP): Wireless Security

With the increase in use of wireless network, the initial protocols, as first, Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP), then Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) was used to secure wireless communications. In this paper, a comparison study is carried out in between Counter mode with Cipher block chaining Message authentication code Protocol (CCMP) and Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). It is being studied that Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is mandatory in both, but TKIP is a lower end encryption protocol and CCMP is a higher end encryption protocol.
