Rijndael, AES, CCMP are same as well as different. They are same in terms of how encryption is done and different in terms of whether each one is a protocol, algorithm or a standard. CCMP is both, a protocol and a standard, Rijndael is: a) standard only b) an algorithm c) a communications protocol. d) patented by US Government

Option (b) is the correct answer to this question.

Explanation:

AES is based on Rijndael Algorithm.

The Rijndael algorithm enables a choice of block sizes and key sizes. The choices are for each of 128, 192, or 256 bits. Once NIST implemented Rijndael for AES, it only specified one block size,128 bits, but maintained three major lengths of selection. IEEE 802.11I go a step and further limits when both the main size and length of the block for 128 bits. It simplifies deployment and relieves users during development from having to make yet again another decision.

Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.
