Hi Mark,

Re: 5th Option

This is the same as the 3rd Option.  It was already polled.

All,

 

With 10 days’ notice, as mentioned at the closing plenary yesterday, I am announcing TGbh teleconferences on the following Tuesdays, at 9:30 am ET, for 2 hours:

  • Jan 31
  • Feb 7
  • Feb 14
  • Feb 21
  • Feb 28

 

Agenda and call in details will follow, shortly.

 

Also note that I will be able to attend or chair the call on Jan 31, so one of the Vice Chairs will step in (thanks, Peter and Stephen!).

 

I anticipate that further discussion on the “5th option”, as described below, will be our next item of discussion on the way forward topic.  REMINDER: I am looking for a volunteer to champion/lead this discussion.  And, we need to complete the review of the latest proposed resolutions for comments on the D0.2 text.

 

5th option:

    • Network generates an ID, communicated in 4-way handshake (similar/as done in D0.2)
    • STA returns that ID in a new IE in a non-encrypted frame at next association (Association Request?) and/or pre-association frames
    • ID is changed every association
    • STA maintains list of ESS/SSIDs and IDs.
    • Needs an “opt-in” mechanism
  • Advantages
    • Simple, easy to implement
    • Provides good protection against copying
    • Meets every Use Case
    • No computations
  • Disadvantages
    • Requires new IE
    • Needs to specify some uniqueness to ID (6 octets?)

 

 

Thanks.  Mark
