The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is a security protocol used in the IEEE 802.11 wireless networking standard. TKIP was designed by the IEEE 802.11i task group and the Wi-Fi Alliance to replace WEP without requiring hardware replacement. This was necessary because the vulnerabilities of WEP had left Wi-Fi networks without LAN-like security, and as an alternative for hardware already in wide use. The protocol was introduced because WEP's vulnerabilities had eliminated reliable wireless network security at the Link-layer level, and because a solution was needed for hardware that had already been deployed.
