M2.7 - Chairs actions related to Krack vulnerabilities November 2017 M2.7 - Chairs actions related to Krack vulnerabilities The Krack vulnerabilities were made public on Oct 16th. The chair assembled a “security expert panel” ad-hoc to advise him. This met on the Friday of that week. The chair was invited a meeting of the IEEE marketing department, and a meeting with the IEEE-SA president to answer questions. The goal is to answer questions that may be addressed to the IEEE, and to introspect about whether the processes we use in 802.11 are adequate. This is an ongoing process. The chair announced that TGm will consider this matter (see: http://www.ieee802.org/11/email/stds-802-11/msg02855.html) Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation
