    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to secure MAC header. A device may generate a frame comprising a secure medium access control (MAC) header. The device may cause to send the frame to one or more STAs. In particular, the device may include processing circuitry coupled to storage, where the processing circuitry is configured to generate a frame comprising a MAC header that includes one or more unencrypted fields and one or more encrypted fields. The frame may be one of a management frame or a data frame and the one or more unencrypted fields may include an address 3 (A3) field. The processing circuitry may also be configured to instruct to send the frame to one or more stations (STAs).

    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for resisting downgrade attack for private limited connection, comprising: performing a 4-way handshake between an initiating entity and a responding entity to establish a PMKSA; receiving, by the initiating entity, a frame from the responding entity during the 4-way handshake, wherein the frame comprises an indication of usage of private limited connection for all responding entities in a network identified by a SSID of the responding entity; and establishing, by the initiating entity, a private limited connection in the network identified by the SSID of the responding entity.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to coexistence network integration. A device may transmit a beacon frame or a probe response frame containing a security element that is not a robust security network element (RSNE) element to indicate opportunistic wireless encryption (OWE) support. The device may identify a first association request frame received from a first station device (STA) comprising an RSNE element with OWE Authentication Key Management (AKM) indicating a compatibility of the first STA with OWE. The device may identify a second association request frame from a second station device (STA) indicating no compatibility with OWE. The device may generate one or more encryption keys for securing data transmission with OWE-compatible STAs. The device may transmit encrypted and unencrypted versions of groupcast data frames to the first STA and the second STA.
