Techopedia Explains Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
TKIP features include:
- Boosting encryption strength
- Preventing collision attacks without hardware replacement
- Serving as a WEP code wrapper and also adding per-packet mixing of media access control (MAC) base keys and serial numbers
- Assigning a unique 48-bit sequencing number to each packet
- Utilizing the RC4 stream cipher – 128-bit encryption keys and 64-bit authentication keys
