WLAN_CCMP(4)		     Kernel Interfaces Manual		    WLAN_CCMP(4)

NAME
     wlan_ccmp -- AES-CCMP crypto support for 802.11 devices

SYNOPSIS
     device wlan_ccmp

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

SEE ALSO
     wlan(4), wlan_gcmp(4), wlan_tkip(4), wlan_wep(4)

STANDARDS
     More  information	can  be found in the IEEE 802.11, WPA, and 802.11i Stan-
     dards.

HISTORY
     The wlan_ccmp driver first appeared in FreeBSD 6.0.

FreeBSD ports 15.1		December 7, 2004		    WLAN_CCMP(4)
