   TKIP and AES are two different types of encryption that can be used by a Wi-Fi network. TKIP
   stands for ”Temporal Key Integrity Protocol.” It was a stopgap encryption protocol introduced with
   WPA to replace the very-insecure WEP encryption at the time. TKIP is actually quite similar to
   WEP encryption. TKIP is no longer considered secure. and is now deprecated. In other words.
   you shouldn’t be using it.

   AES stands for “Advanced Encryption Standard.” This was a more secure encryption protocol
   introduced with WPAZ, which replaced the interim WPA standard. AES isn’t some creaky
   standard developed specifically for Wi-Fi networks; it’s a serious worldwide encryption standard
   that’s even been adopted by the US government For example, when you encrypt a hard drive
   with TrueCrypt, it can use AES encryption for that AES is generally considered quite secure. and
   the main weaknesses would be brute-force attacks (prevented by using a strong passphrase) and
   security weaknesses in other aspects of WPA2.

   WPA Uses TKIP and WPA2 Uses AES, But… In summary, TKIP is an older encryption standard used by the old WPA standard. AES is a newer Wi-Fi encryption solution used by the new-and-secure WPA2 standard
