  Wireless Glossary: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, pronounced tee-kip, is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless LANs.
TKIP is the next generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used to secure 802.11 wireless LANs.
TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP.

 TKIP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cryptography, TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is a security protocol used in Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).
Key mixing increases the complexity of decoding the keys by giving the cracker much less data that has been encrypted using any one key.
Also TKIP hashes the initialization vector (IV) values, which are sent as plaintext, with the WPA key to form the RC4 traffic key, addressing one of WEP's largest security weaknesses.

 TKIP Overview
TKIP is a suite of algorithms that works as a "wrapper" to WEP, which allows users of legacy WLAN equipment to upgrade to TKIP without replacing hardware.
The new protocol, however, encrypts each data packet with a unique encryption key, and the keys are much stronger than those of its predecesor.
While TKIP is useful for upgrading security on devices originally equipped with WEP, it does not address all of the security issues facing WLANs and may not be reliable or efficient enough for sensitive corporate and government data transmission.

 TKIP - Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
This is a security protocol used within the IEEE 802.11i specifications for Wi-Fi networks.
TKIP introduces a sophisticated key generation function which encrypts every data packet sent over the wireless medium (air interface) with its own unique encryption key.
This increases the complexity of decoding the keys by reducing the amount of data available to the hacker, that has been encrypted using a particular key.

 Wi-Fi Protected Access - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WPA is designed for use with an 802.1X authentication server, which distributes different keys to each user; however, it can also be used in a less secure "pre-shared key" (PSK) mode, where every user is given the same passphrase.
Data is encrypted using the RC4 stream cipher, with a 128-bit key and a 48-bit initialization vector (IV).
One major improvement in WPA over WEP is the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which dynamically changes keys as the system is used.

 What is TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)?
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is part of a draft standard from the IEEE 802.11i working group.
Before TKIP, it was possible to perform a known ciphertext attack on WEP after collecting a large number of packets.
This backwards compatibility with TKIP is necessary because most legacy Wi-Fi (802.11) hardware does not have the CPU power to use the AES algorithm utilized by CCMP.

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), as defined by the IEEE 802.11i specification, addresses the encryption part of the wireless security equation.
TKIP is a "wrapper" that goes around the existing WEP encryption.
The key is created by mixing together a combination of things, including a base key (called a Pairwise Transient Key in TKIP parlance), the MAC address of the transmitting station, and the serial number for the packet.

 WPA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
For the unicast encryption key, the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) changes the key for every frame, and the change is synchronized between the wireless client and the wireless access point (AP).
For the global encryption key, WPA enables the wireless AP to advertise the changed key to the connected wireless clients.
TKIP replaces WEP with an encryption algorithm that is stronger than the WEP algorithm but uses the calculation technologies present on existing wireless devices to perform encryption operations.

 Increasing Wireless Security with TKIP
TKIP is a quick-fix method to quickly overcome the inherent weaknesses in WEP security, especially the reuse of encryption keys.
TKIP combines the temporal key with the [client machine's] MAC address and then adds a relatively large 16-octet initialization vector to produce the key that will encrypt the data.
TKIP uses RC4 to perform the encryption, which is the same as WEP.

WEP was the encryption scheme hastily thrown together as a pseudo-standard by vendors who were in a hurry to start producing wireless equipment before the protocol standards were finalized.
TKIP is the underlying technology which allows WPA to be backwards compatible with WEP and existing wireless hardware.
TKIP works in conjunction with WEP and institutes a longer key, 128-bits, as well as changing the key on a per-packet basis to make it exponentially more secure than WEP alone.

 WPA: It's Like WEP, but Good
What TKIP's use does is directly address one of the critical problems with WEP—that is, it didn't change the encryption keys enough over time.
TKIP starts with a longer key length then was used in WEP so it gains some cryptological strength from this right off the bat.
The key is 256 bits in length, whether the key is entered as 64 hex digits or by ASCII characters.

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), developed by the IEEE's 802.11 task group, is one of two major components of the Wi-Fi Alliance's Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) specification.
TKIP, like WEP before it, is based on the RC4 encryption algorithm, says Chris Bolinger, product manager for Cisco's wireless networking group.
But TKIP, which will be available as a software/firmware upgrade for access points and Wi-Fi cards already equipped with WEP, has a longer key length and uses dynamic keys that are swapped periodically.

The process used to generate the encryption key is very rigorous and the rekeying (or key changing) is done very quickly.
WEP was confusing to home users because of the various types of keys vendors used (HEX, ASCII, or passphrase) and because home users mix and match equipment from multiple vendors, all using different types of keys.
