Security Parameters Summary - ZyXEL Communications VSG1432-B101 - V1.10 Manual

The AP checks each wireless client's password and allows it to join the network
2
only if the password matches.
The AP and wireless clients generate a common PMK (Pairwise Master Key). The
3
key itself is not sent over the network, but is derived from the PSK and the SSID.
The AP and wireless clients use the TKIP or AES encryption process, the PMK and
4
information exchanged in a handshake to create temporal encryption keys. They
use these keys to encrypt data exchanged between them.
