3 The AP and wireless clients generate a common PMK (Pairwise Master Key). The key

itself is not sent over the network, but is derived from the PSK and the SSID.

4 The AP and wireless clients use the TKIP or AES encryption process, the PMK and

information exchanged in a handshake to create temporal encryption keys. They use
these keys to encrypt data exchanged between them.
