36*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Cd "device wlan_ccmp"
37*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Sh DESCRIPTION
38*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa ZiehauThe
39*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Nm
40*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehaumodule handles the AES-CCMP cryptographic requirements of the
41*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa ZiehauWPA and 802.11i protocols.
42*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa ZiehauIt does encapsulation and decapsulation of CCMP-encoded 802.11 frames
43*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehauand optionally calculates the AES-CCMP cipher.
44*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa ZiehauThe
45*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Nm
46*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehaumodule is an 802.11 cryptographic plugin module for use by the
47*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Xr wlan 4
48*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehaumodule.
49*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa ZiehauThis module is automatically loaded if an AES-CCMP key is configured;
50*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehautypically by a WPA supplicant program such as wpa_supplicant.
51*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.\"typically by a WPA supplicant program such as wpa_supplicant,
52*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.\"or a WPA authenticator program such as
53*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.\".Nm hostapd .
54*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa ZiehauShould the underlying network device not be capable of doing the AES-CCMP
55*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehaucalculations in hardware, the
56*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Nm
57*4f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehaumodule will do the work.
