NAME
     wlan_tkip — TKIP and Michael crypto support for 802.11 devices


SYNOPSIS
     device wlan_tkip


DESCRIPTION
     The wlan_tkip module handles the TKIP and Michael cryptographic requirements of the WPA and 802.11i
     protocols.  It does encapsulation and decapsulation of TKIP-encoded 802.11 frames and optionally calculates
     the TKIP cipher and Michael MIC.  The wlan_tkip module is an 802.11 cryptographic plugin module for use by
     the wlan(4) module.  This module is automatically loaded if a TKIP key is configured; typically by a WPA
     supplicant program such as wpa_supplicant, or a WPA authenticator program such as hostapd.  Should the
     underlying network device not be capable of doing the TKIP and/or Michael calculations in hardware, the
     wlan_tkip module will do the work.
