IEEE 802.11i - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia IEEE 802.11i is an amendment to the 802.11 standard specifying security mechanisms for wireless networks (see Wi-Fi). The 802.11i architecture contains the following components: 802.1X for authentication (entailing the use of EAP and an authentication server), RSN for keeping track of associations, and AES-based CCMP to provide confidentiality, integrity and origin authentication. Like WPA, 802.11i has a pre-shared key mode (PSK, also known as personal mode), designed for home and small office networks that cannot afford the cost and complexity of an 802.1X authentication server. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/WPA2   (885 words)

Internet Architecture Board - About the IAB He also asked that IEEE 802.11i be specific about whether the purpose of the requirements was to serve as a set of requirements for selection of a single method (beauty contest for the mandatory-to-implement method) or just as requirements for any method that was to be used with IEEE 802.11i. So in effect, the IETF's response on mandatory-to-implement lead to IEEE 802.11i workarounds that subsequently resulted in a dictionary attack vulnerability in PSK mode as well as a situation in which IEEE 802.11i is unable to make use of the IETF's work on EAP key naming. Since IEEE 802.1aa depends on RFC 2284bis, a reference to RFC 2284 in IEEE 802.11i could create confusion about the expected state machine behavior of the EAP implementation within IEEE 802.11i. www.iab.org /liaisons/ieee/2003-12-15-ieee-liaison-meeting.html   (2873 words)

IEEE APPROVES TWO WIRELESS LAN PROJECTS THAT ADDRESS FAST ROAMING AND MESH STANDARDS "IEEE 802.11i was developed by leading experts in network security to give end users and network administrators a high level of assurance that the integrity of their networks and data will not be compromised," said Stuart J. Kerry, Chair of the IEEE 802.11 standards committee. IEEE 802.11i was developed by the IEEE 802.11 Working Group, which is sponsored by the IEEE 802® LAN/MAN Standards Committee of the IEEE Computer Society. IEEE 802.11i, "Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications: Medium Access Control (MAC) Security Enhancement," leverages security technology that has emerged since the original IEEE 802.11 standard was written in the late 1990s. standards.ieee.org /announcements/pr_80211iv1.html   (633 words)

ieee802.11.txt IEEE 802.11i Draft 1.7, clause 8.1.4.2 requires authentication methods within 802.11 environments to perform mutual authentication and to establish keys based on the authentication. In July of 2001, IEEE 802.11i decided that it would not define EAP authentication types, voting that specific EAP authentication types are out of scope for the IEEE 802.11i specification except where it affects the IEEE 802.1X and/or IEEE 802.11 framework. IEEE 802.11i initially attempted to specify a single method. www.ietf.org /IESG/LIAISON/ieee802.11.txt   (750 words)

Definition: IEEE 802.11i [Web and XML Glossary] IEEE 802.11i is the successor of the WPA security layer for IEEE 802.11 WLANs.

UNINETT: WLAN - Wireless Networks The Wi-Fi Alliance did not have the patience to wait for the IEEE 802.11i to be finalized and answered the demands from the marked by promoting a "snapshot" of the work done by IEEE 802.11i, called Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). The IEEE 802.11i should solve this problem using AES encryption and 802.1X for authentication. IEEE 802.11h provides these functions, which are required by law for 802.11a to operate with a higher output power. www.uninett.no /wlan   (406 words)

IEEE 802.11i Standard Improves Wireless LAN Security When the 802.11i task group began its work, there was no consensus that it was important to protect the control messages in a wireless network. With 802.11i, the whole security chain for logging in, exchanging credentials, authenticating, and encryption becomes much more robust and effective in protecting against both nontargeted and targeted attacks, making it easier for people to both work and enjoy wireless entertainment anytime, anywhere. IEEE 802 set up a committee, chaired by Intel, to study the ways in which WAPI could be integrated into 802.11. www.intel.com /technology/magazine/standards/80211i-0505.htm   (2120 words)

3e Technologies International, Inc - Solutions IEEE 802.11i, IEEE 802.15.4, and Bluetooth all employ a cross-layered approach to security; however, Bluetooth currently implements SAFER+ for baseband encryption, while 802.11i and 802.15.4 employ AES for both encryption and authentication. However, it is clear that for wireless security, symmetric-key encryption using U.S. Government-endorsed AES is an accepted methodology that is a critical building block in both IEEE 802.11i and IEEE 802.15.4 (ZigBee), which together cover high and low-data-rate, low-power wireless applications. Details are provided on how 802.11i implementations can gain strengthened security through standards-based approaches to encryption key management. en1.endiva.net /3eti/pub/LIT_13.asp?ctyp=LITERATURE&pcatid=0&catid=3238&ctxid=3239   (391 words)

IEEE 802 Standard An earlier group of IEEE standards, the 802.11 specifications, provide a wireless alternative to Ethernet LANs (local area networks); 802.16 standards are expected to complement these by enabling a wireless alternative to expensive T1 links connecting offices to each other and the Internet. IEEE 802.11b- often called Wi-Fi- is backward compatible with 802.11. IEEE 802.11a - an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless LANs and provides up to 54 Mbps in the 5GHz band; but most commonly, communications takes place at 6 Mbps, 12 Mbps, or 24 Mbps. www.ieee.org /portal/site/mainsite/menuitem.818c0c39e85ef176fb2275875bac26c8/index.jsp?&pName=corp_level1&path=about/802std&file=index.xml&xsl=generic.xsl   (1214 words)
