Message Integrity Check
Message Integrity Check (MIC) is a method in data communication that checks the trustworthiness of data in radio traffic. MIC emerged from the Integrity Check Values (ICV) of 802.11b . The data packets are numbered consecutively. This serial number is also transmitted in the encrypted part. The recipient checks for the sequential number and packets that do not match this sequential number are discarded without further processing. This can prevent many known hacker attacks .
