2. doc.: IEEE 802.11-02/684r0 Submission November 2002 Martin Lefkowitz, Trapeze NetworksSlide 2 Extended Keymap ID Current Encryption key Technology –Only 2 bits for 4 different key slots leaving a total of 4 keys per BSS per STA –Only 2 bits for 4 different key slots leaving a total of 4 keys per BSS for multicast/broadcast

3. doc.: IEEE 802.11-02/684r0 Submission November 2002 Martin Lefkowitz, Trapeze NetworksSlide 3 What if? We added a mechanism whereby we could use more than 4 keys per STA for either Unicast or Broadcast traffic. –A STA can receive secure multicast traffic based on application while still able to respond to multicast IP traffic like arp.

A heterogenous environment can support multiple group keys for a more graceful transition to stronger encryption.

Proposal is to make two of those bytes the Key ID fields Group Keys are used between a single Authenticator and all Supplicants authenticated to that Authenticator. The Authenticator may derive new Group Transient Keys when it wants to update the Group temporal keys.

7. doc.: IEEE 802.11-02/684r0 Submission November 2002 Martin Lefkowitz, Trapeze NetworksSlide 7 How Add Key Id field to MPDU format. –There are enough bits in the reserved field with 48 bit counter format –Noted Differences between CCMP and TKIP

10. doc.: IEEE 802.11-02/684r0 Submission November 2002 Martin Lefkowitz, Trapeze NetworksSlide 10 How Add SNMP MIB: –dot11numKeymapID Number of different key map IV a STA needs to keep track of. –dot11recievedFramesNoKeymap Indicates how many frames a STA has received for which it did not have the keymap ID. –A normal situation. Add appropriate logic to Pseudo code after the key has been looked up if that entry contains a key that is null discard the frame body and increment dot11WEPUndecryptableCount else if there is no key entry for keymap field in MPDU Increment dot11recievedFramesNoKeymap else attempt to decrypt with that key, incrementing dot11WEPICVErrorCount if the ICV check fails

11. doc.: IEEE 802.11-02/684r0 Submission November 2002 Martin Lefkowitz, Trapeze NetworksSlide 11 Conclusion Key IDs can be exended for both broadcast and unicast traffic with little change to the current SSN/TGI implementations
