    摘要: Systems and methods provide a mechanism for wireless stations and access points to negotiate security parameters for protecting management frames. The access point and station determine which management frames they are capable of and desire to protect. Data indicating protected frames are then exchanged between the station and access point to select which management frames are to be protected and a protection mechanism to be used for protecting the management frames.
