AES
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the standard encryption method used with WPA2.
Note:
Although some WiFi clients might support AES with WPA, the WAC720 and WAC730
access points do not support WPA with AES.
TKIP + AES
The TKIP + AES encryption method is supported both for WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets
use TKIP. For unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2 clients
use AES. For the WPA & WPA2 mixed mode, TKIP + AES is the only supported data encryption
method.
