In that case, I don't really understand what you are referring to with
"benefits of CCMP/TKIP".. If you want to provide anyone access to the
network and do not want to have any pre-shared secret (or public crypto
for that matter), what would you like to get from CCMP/TKIP that
unencrypted open network does not provide?
