Status IEEE 802.11 TGi Draft Current draft: IEEE 802.11 TGi, Draft D10 May, 2004 Status IEEE 802.11 TGi Draft Current draft: IEEE 802.11 TGi, Draft D10 Current approval status: Current draft approval rate: > 95% Status on ‘no’ votes: - Status after closure 3rd Recirculation Sponsor Ballot: 2 remaining ‘no’ votes - Current status: remaining ‘no’ votes rejected (all of which recurring ‘no’ votes) Indication of areas remaining ‘no’ votes: - technicalities on authentication protocol (in casu: 802.1x, EAPOL) - regulatory issues: crypto export control regarding AES-128 (for details, see IEEE802.11-04/0526r0) Next steps: REVCOM Rene Struik, Certicom Corp.
Regulatory Issues: NIST Approval Encryption Mode May, 2004 Regulatory Issues: NIST Approval Encryption Mode NIST approved the AES-CCM mode Ref: NIST Special Publication 800-38C: Recommendation for Block Cipher Modes of Operation – The CCM Mode for Authentication and Encryption, May 12, 2004. Available from http://csrc.nist.gov. ‘Upcoming’ Issues: Impact 802.11 TGi on TGr (Roaming) Roaming without security: - latency sufficiently small (< 50 ms, non-noticeable for most applications) Roaming with security: - latency possibly too large (unacceptable, e.g., for VoIP applications) Rene Struik, Certicom Corp.
