AES or TKIP is used depending on the capability of the other station.
A symmetrical encryption method with the RC4 algorithm (Ron's Code 4). In contrast
to the weak WEP encryption, TKIP uses changing keys derived from a main key. TKIP
can also recognize corrupted data frames.
Strong symmetrical block encryption method based on the Rijndael algorithm that
further improves the functions of TKIP.
