5. doc.: IEEE 802.11-04/0755r1 Submission July 12-16, 2004 TK Tan (Philips) Slide 5 Motion Move that the WNG SC recommends that the IEEE 802.11 WG form a study group to examine how to formally describe the IEEE 802.11 Management Frame and Control Frame protection functions and behaviors, with the intent to create a PAR and five criteria to form a new Task Group. –Moved Emily Qi, Seconded Jon Edney –Result 45:0:1

6. doc.: IEEE 802.11-04/0755r1 Submission July 12-16, 2004 TK Tan (Philips) Slide 6 Motivation IEEE 802.11i does not define management frame protection scheme IEEE 802.11 Management Frames are widely used in IEEE 802.11, its amendments, and Task Groups –Association, Disassociation, Reassociation, Deauthentication 802.11r may or may not address security for these messages –Action frames (802.11h, 802.11k, 802.11e, potentially WNM) Not being addressed by any existing projects or amendments

7. doc.: IEEE 802.11-04/0755r1 Submission July 12-16, 2004 TK Tan (Philips) Slide 7 Motivation (cont.) WNM SG voted that it wants a single unified solution to the security problem –Concerned that different Task Groups propose different solutions  potential for security holes, implementation nightmares –Concerned non-security Task Groups lack sufficient security expertise 802.11k participants concur Single and unified solution needed for all IEEE 802.11 Management Frames

Patents IEEE standards may include the known use of essential patents and patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard. This assurance shall be provided without coercion and prior to approval of the standard (or reaffirmation when a patent becomes known after initial approval of the standard). This assurance shall be a letter that is in the form of either: a) A general disclaimer to the effect that the patentee will not enforce any of its present or future patent(s) whose use would be required to implement the proposed IEEE standard against any person or entity using the patent(s) to comply with the standard or b) A statement that a license will be made available without compensation or under reasonable rates, with reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination This assurance shall apply, at a minimum, from the date of the standard's approval to the date of the standard's withdrawal and is irrevocable during that period.
