Re: [STDS-802-11-TGAI] [Feedback due Fri March 29th, 12pm EDT] Call for offline comments on 802.11ai documents re representation of "Higher-Layer Objects" and "Large Objects", and processing during FILS authentication scheme

["Cherian, George" <gcherian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rene,

Current proposal (13/201r5) seems very complex as it is trying to provide so much flexibility. I think, the scope of the problem (with regard to encryption) was to be able to encrypt the whole "higher layer encapsulation" Information Element

Now, if encrypting just the "higher layer encapsulation" Information Element requires a complex solution, then I'd propose that we can go back to the mechanism that is specified in the current draft, where the input plaintext is set to contents that follow the FILS Session element. (essentially everything after FILS Session Element including Vendor Specific IEs)

Thanks
George

[This reiterates my earlier request for comments, made during the Thu
pm2 session of TGai last wee in Orlando]

Dear colleagues:

Hereby, I would like to request constructive feedback on the mechanisms presented in document 13/201r5 and those specified in 13/311r0.

Please provide your comments to me personally offline by Good Friday (i.e., Friday March 29, 2013), noon EDT.

I will summarize comments and make these available to the group. I will also use these comments to guide updates of the documents referred to above.

Hiroshi/Marc:
I would tentatively like to revisit this topic during the conf call on Tue April 16, 2013, 9am EDT.

Note:
In case you wish to share information (e.g., specifics on the I/O-interface of CCM processing on your favorite 802.11 platform), you can do so. I will treat this as offline communication not to be shared with the group in an identifiable manner.

Best regards, Rene
