The terminology here and in related articles has some serious issues. The following is the correct nomenclature to the best of my knowledge:

  • CCMP is a way to encrypt and authenticate 802.11 frames using AES-CCM
  • TKIP is a way to encrypt and authenticate 802.11 frames using a combination of RC4 encryption and Michael authentication
  • 802.11i is an IEEE security standard, includes both CCMP and TKIP
  • WPA is a WiFi Association certification that roughly maps to the Draft 3 of the 802.11i. It lacks some features of the 802.11i and uses different tags in the frames.
  • WPA2 is WiFi Association certification that maps to the final 802.11i.
