    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling access to and/or forwarding of communicated information, e.g. traffic, in a wireless communication system are described. The key, e.g., PSK, used to secure data that is transmitted to an access point for communication to a destination device is taken into consideration when deciding whether or not to provide the destination device access to the communicated content. The decision of whether or not to provide the destination device access to a communication may involve deciding whether or not to forward the received data to another device, e.g., another access point, for delivery to the destination device and/or may involve deciding whether or not to transmit the data to the destination device. If the destination device is not associated with, e.g., does not have access to and/or authorization to use, the key used to secure the received data, the data is not communicated to the destination device.
