{{short description|Authenticated encryption protocol for Wireless LAN}}
'''Counter Mode Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol''' ('''Counter Mode CBC-MAC Protocol''') or '''CCM mode Protocol''' ('''CCMP''') is an [[authenticated encryption]] [[security protocol|protocol]] designed for [[Wireless LAN]] products that implements the standards of the [[IEEE 802.11i]] amendment to the original [[IEEE 802.11]] standard. CCMP is a data cryptographic encapsulation mechanism designed for data [[confidentiality]], [[data integrity|integrity]] and [[message authentication|authentication]]. It is based upon the Counter Mode with CBC-MAC ([[CCM mode]]) of the [[Advanced Encryption Standard]] (AES) standard.<ref name="802.11 2007">{{cite web|url=http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.11-2007.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081013101112/http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.11-2007.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 13, 2008|title=IEEE Std 802.11-2007|last=Cole|first=Terry|date=12 June 2007|publisher=The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc|accessdate=11 April 2011|location=New York, New York}}</ref> It was created to address the vulnerabilities presented by [[Wired Equivalent Privacy]] (WEP), a dated, insecure protocol.<ref name="802.11 2007" />
