    I thought TKIP is just a key protocol, not data encryption. AES is data encryption, not a key protocol. They're not mutually exclusive and hardly related to each other.

    "TKIP comprises the same encryption engine and RC4 algorithm defined for WEP. However, the key used for encryption in TKIP is 128 bits long."

    TKIP was made as a quick fix to weak WEP security. WPA2 is a finalized standard and it uses TKIP to be backwards compatible w\ devices that maybe can't do AES.
