Wifi Security Question - Newbie

[alkit]

Hi,
A customer just asked me the following. Never heard of it, but maybe someone here can shed light:
"apparently there is an encryption technology that allows your connection to constantly "jump". What I mean is that it connects and jumps through several frequencies so that if there was someone who hacked into it, and due to the connection jumping many frequencies, it is almost impossible to hack and track down where the connection is "jumping" to."

Any ideas what this encryption method is called?

Thanks

No, Wifi works on a specific frequency so it is not possible to encrypt it like that. If it were radio signals however then it is possible.

Possibly a reference to TKIP? (Not frequency hopping, but encryption utilising a sequence counter to protect against replay attacks - sort of "key hopping")
