Abstract: One aspect provides a system and method for provisioning an access point (AP) in a wireless mesh network. During operation, a controller can obtain a set of published global encryption parameters comprising a master public key, apply an identity-based encryption (IBE) scheme to encrypt a configuration message based at least on the master public key, and transmit the encrypted configuration message to a proxy device, which forwards the encrypted configuration message to the AP. The proxy device is coupled to the controller via a previously established secure communication channel and coupled to the AP via an open communication channel. The AP can decrypt the encrypted configuration message using an AP-specific secret key generated based on a unique identifier of the AP and a master private key corresponding to the master public key, thereby facilitating provisioning of the AP based on the configuration message.

Abstract: Examples described herein provide multi-band channel scanning. Examples may include transmitting, by a first radio of a first network device operating at a first frequency band below the millimeter-wave (mmWave), a beacon frame indicating a particular scanning channel of a second frequency band within the mmWave, receiving, by a second radio of the first network device operating the second frequency band, a probe request from a second network device via the particular scanning channel, wherein the probe request is in response to the beacon frame received by the second network device, and in response to the probe request, transmitting, by the second radio of the first network device, a probe response in each of one or more sector transmitting directions via the particular scanning channel.
