    Added Michael MIC keyed digest for TKIP (IEEE 802.11i/WPA). This algorithm
    is quite weak due to the requirements for compatibility with old legacy
    wireless LAN hardware that does not have much CPU power. Consequently, this
    should not really be used with anything else than TKIP.
    
    Michael MIC is calculated over the payload of the IEEE 802.11 header which
    makes it easier to add TKIP support for old wireless LAN cards. An additional
    authenticated data area is used (but not send separately) to authenticate
    source and destination addresses.
