摘要:
Embodiments of a wireless device and methods for rekeying with reduced packet loss in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, during rekeying operations a new key for reception may be installed early (i.e., prior to receipt of a rekeying confirmation message). The use of the new key for transmission may be delayed until after receipt of the rekeying confirmation message. The early installation of the new key for reception may allow both the new key and old key to be active at the same time for use decrypting received packets to reduce packet loss during rekeying operations. The rekeying confirmation message may be the fourth message of a four-way handshake for rekeying. In some embodiments, two key identifiers may be alternated between four-way handshakes to prevent deletion of the old key.

摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method comprising transmitting, by a communication node, an information element (IE), the IE including a feature field indicating whether the communication node operates in accordance with an integrity protection protocol specifically for management frames, and the IE further including an enforcement field that advertises whether the integrity protection protocol for management and control frames is mandatory, and generating, by the communication node, a pairwise transient key (PTK), the PTK including a first plurality of keys and a pairwise integrity key (PIK), wherein the first plurality of keys are configured to protect an integrity of data frames transmitted by the communication node and the PIK is configured to protect an integrity of management frames transmitted by the communication node, wherein management frames are dedicated to management traffic and wherein the first plurality of keys and the PIK are different keys. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
