WLAN_CCMP(4) FreeBSD 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_supplicant, or a WPA authenticator program such as hostapd. Should the underlying network device not be capable of doing the AES-CCMP calcu- lations in hardware, the wlan_ccmp module will do the work. SEE ALSO wlan(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.
