344f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Sh SYNOPSIS
354f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Cd "device wlan_tkip"
364f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Sh DESCRIPTION
374f6e3ad1SSepherosa ZiehauThe
384f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Nm
394f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehaumodule handles the TKIP and Michael cryptographic requirements of the
404f6e3ad1SSepherosa ZiehauWPA and 802.11i protocols.
414f6e3ad1SSepherosa ZiehauIt does encapsulation and decapsulation of TKIP-encoded 802.11 frames
424f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehauand optionally calculates the TKIP cipher and Michael MIC.
434f6e3ad1SSepherosa ZiehauThe
444f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Nm
454f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehaumodule is an 802.11 cryptographic plugin module for use by the
464f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Xr wlan 4
474f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehaumodule.
484f6e3ad1SSepherosa ZiehauThis module is automatically loaded if a TKIP key is configured;
49fe3d6ebeSSascha Wildnertypically by a WPA supplicant program such as wpa_supplicant,
50fe3d6ebeSSascha Wildneror a WPA authenticator program such as
51fe3d6ebeSSascha Wildner.Nm hostapd .
524f6e3ad1SSepherosa ZiehauShould the underlying network device not be capable of doing the TKIP
534f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehauand/or Michael calculations in hardware, the
544f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Nm
554f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehaumodule will do the work.
