NAME

     wlan_tkip -- TKIP and Michael crypto support for 802.11 devices

SYNOPSIS

     device wlan_tkip

DESCRIPTION

     The wlan_tkip module handles the TKIP and Michael cryptographic requirements of the WPA and 802.11i protocols.  It does encapsulation and
     decapsulation of TKIP-encoded 802.11 frames and optionally calculates the TKIP cipher and Michael MIC.  The wlan_tkip module is an 802.11
     cryptographic plugin module for use by the wlan(4) module.  This module is automatically loaded if a TKIP key is configured; typically by a
     WPA supplicant program such as wpa_supplicant, or a WPA authenticator program such as hostapd.  Should the underlying network device not be
     capable of doing the TKIP and/or Michael calculations in hardware, the wlan_tkip module will do the work.
