.Sh NAME
.Nm wlan_ccmp
.Nd AES-CCMP crypto support for 802.11 devices
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "device wlan_ccmp"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
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
.Nm
module is an 802.11 cryptographic plugin module for use by the
.Xr 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
.Nm hostapd .
Should the underlying network device not be capable of doing the AES-CCMP
calculations in hardware, the
.Nm
module will do the work.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr wlan 4 ,
.Xr wlan_tkip 4 ,
.Xr wlan_wep 4
.Sh STANDARDS
More information can be found in the IEEE 802.11, WPA, and 802.11i Standards.
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
driver first appeared in
.Fx 6.0 .
