CCMP
Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol
TKIP
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. Wireless security protocol introduced to address the problems with WEP. TKIP was used with WPA but many implementations of WPA now support CCMP.
EAP

PEAP
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP provides an extra layer of protection for EAP. PEAP-TLS uses TLS to encrypt the authentication process by encapsulating and encrypting the EAP conversation in a Transport Layer Security (TLS) tunnel. Since TLS requires a certificate, PEAP-TLS requires a certification authority (CA) to issue certificates.
EAP-FAST
EAP-Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling--Designed by Cisco to replace LEAP.
