CCMP

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
EAP— Extensible Authentication Protocol. An authentication framework that provides general guidance for authentication methods. Variations include EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, LEAP, and PEAP.

Gibson, Darril. CompTIA Security+: Get Certified Get Ahead: SY0-401 Study Guide (Kindle Locations 14709-14710). YCDA, LLC. Kindle Edition.
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.
