Re: [STDS-802-11-TGM] Proposed REVme comment resolutions for various security related comments
--- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Task Group M Technical Reflector ---
The non-AP STA doesn’t always inform the AP when it is leaving the BSS and needs to keep the KCK for some amount of time. If the non-AP STA knows the duration for which the AP will keep the KCK, then it knows when to include the MIC and when not
In general I think the idea is good, but IMHO we need to refine it a bit prior to a motion

>> [Sid.Th] - This seems like a good idea. The only question I have here, is if there is a need for the AP to advertise the duration for which the PTK-KCK will be maintained, beyond which the SA-Query will be used again.

>> [Sid.Th] - For this one, I noticed that all of the comments were marked in “yellow” suggesting they will not be motioned today. Some of these changes seem pretty involved and at least I need more time to research and verify the impact of these changes. Can I request confirmation that these comments will not be motioned today?
