The Standard for Security
IEEE 802.11i
The WPA2 security mechanism is defined in the IEEE 802.11i
standard. WPA2 is an extension of the familiar security mech-
anism WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access).
The main feature of the extension of WPA to WPA2 is the AES-
CCMP encryption process.
Mechanism

WPA2
FRITZ!Box supports the AES encryption procedure as part of
the WPA2 mechanism, and the TKIP encryption procedure as
part of the WPA mechanism. This means that the FRITZ!Box
can be used in combination with any WLAN devices that also
support WPA2 with AES or WPA with TKIP.
Your radio network integrates only WLAN devices that
are compatible with one or both of the following stan-
dards:
802.11n
802.11a
Set the following mode in the FRITZ!Box:
Mode: 802.11n+a
The 5-GHz frequency band will be used.
Encryption
TKIP (Temporary Key Integrity Protocol)
TKIP
AES-CCMP
based on the extremely secure AES (Advanced
Encryption Standard) procedure. CCMP (Coun-
ter Mode with CBC-MAC Protocol) defines how
the AES procedure is applied to WLAN pack-
ets.
