TKIP (This option cannot be used with 802.11n when connecting at rates above 54Mhz).
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP): WPA specifies the TKIP data encryption method to
replace WEP. TKIP avoids the problems of WEP static keys by dynamically changing data
encryption keys. TKIP starts with a master (temporal) key for each user session and then
mathematically generates other keys to encrypt each data packet. TKIP provides further
data encryption enhancements by including a message integrity check for each packet
and a re-keying mechanism, which periodically changes the master key.
