WRAP (Wireless Robust Authenticated Protocol)
WRAP (Wireless Robust Authenticated Protocol) is an encryption protocol in the 802.11i standard. WRAP is based upon the Offset Codebook (OCB) mode of AES.
WRAP is being Replaced with CCMP
Intellectual property rights issues have plagued WRAP. Three different parties have filed for patents on WRAP. These intellectual property issues caused the IEEE to introduce CCMP into the 802.11i standard and make WRAP an optional component of RSN (Robust Secure Network).

- RSN (Robust Secure Network)
RSN (Robust Secure Network) is a protocol for establishing secure communications over an 802.11 wireless network. RSN (Robust Secure Network) is part of the 802.11i standard. The RSN Protocol Process The RSN protocol functions as follows: The wireless NIC sends a Probe Request. The wireless access point sends a Probe Response with an RSN Information [...]...
- 802.11i
802.11i is a draft IEEE standard for 802.11 wireless network security. 802.11i defines several new standards, and also relies heavily on many existing standards. New Protocols in 802.11i 802.11i introduced the RSN (Robust Secure Network) protocol for establishing secure communications. 802.11i also introduced the WRAP (Wireless Robust Authentication Protocol) and CCMP encryption protocols. WRAP and [...]...
- TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is part of a draft standard from the IEEE 802.11i working group. TKIP utilizes the RC4 stream cipher with 128-bit keys for encryption and 64-bit keys for authentication. TKIP is an enhancement to WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) security. TKIP enhances WEP by adding a per-packet key mixing function to de-correlate [...]...
- APOP (Authenticated Post Office Protocol)
APOP (Authenticated Post Office Protocol) is an extension of the traditional POP used for email authentication. The POP allows one’s username and password to be authenticated with an email server. It does so by transmitting the user’s account password in plain text over the Internet, which puts his/her security at risk. The APOP encrypts passwords [...]...
- WAP (Wireless Application Protocol)
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is a technical standard for accessing information over a mobile wireless network. A WAP browser is a web browser for mobile devices that use the protocol. Before the introduction of WAP, mobile service providers had limited opportunities to offer interactive data services, but required interactivity to support Internet and applications such [...]...
