[STDS-802-16-MOBILE] Rumors about SHA-1 security



For those who are interested in security, there's a good summary of the

http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/archives/000664.html

SHA-1 is the hash function used in 802.16's PKMv1 for key derivation and
Message Authentication Codes.  PKMv2 introduces the negotiated option of
using a hash based on the AES cipher instead.
