Untitled

The terminology here and in related articles has some serious issues. The following is the correct nomenclature to the best of my knowledge:

CCMP is a way to encrypt and authenticate 802.11 frames using AES-CCM
TKIP is a way to encrypt and authenticate 802.11 frames using a combination of RC4 encryption and Michael authentication
802.11i is an IEEE security standard, includes both CCMP and TKIP
WPA is a WiFi Association certification that roughly maps to the Draft 3 of the 802.11i. It lacks some features of the 802.11i and uses different tags in the frames.
WPA2 is WiFi Association certification that maps to the final 802.11i.

Security

"Because CCMP is a block cipher mode it is secure against attacks to the 2^128 steps of operation if the key for the encryption is 256 bits or larger" This refers to CCM not CCMP and is misleading since "CCMP is based on AES processing and uses a 128-bit key and a 128-bit block size." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marsam84 (talk • contribs) 08:52, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was just stopping by to comment on the same thing. I will edit the article to reflect the correct steps of operation (2^64), and reconcile the conflict. 68.183.201.246 (talk) 20:57, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
