AES-CCMP is a symmetric block cipher that can encrypt and decrypt data using keys of 128, 192, and
CCMP
256 bits. It is based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), as defined in the National Institute
of Standards and Technology's FIPS Publication 197. AES-CCMP is superior to WEP encryption and
is defined in the IEEE 802.11i standard.
