  3. May 2010 Progress • Progress on PAR & 5C document • Started with R0 beginning of week • Moved to R4 (posted after Thursday AM1 session) which incorporates valuable feedback and represents formulations jointly drafted during FIA SG sessions. • R5 posted to server yesterday just adds one sentence to the PAR to assure WG that “fast initial authentication mechanism reduces time of authentication and key management without reducing the security provided by IEEE 802.11i ” Marc Emmelmann, TU Berlin

  4. May 2010 Progress (2) • During the last session of FIA SG on Thursday AM1, two issues were discussed: • Question if a detailed security analysis showing technical feasibility without compromising 802.11i security had been conducted. • If the scope is too narrow to address all aspects of fast initial authentication which could also include also message transfer related to higher layer protocols • Both aspects were discussed during the meeting • A FIA vote on moving the PAR forward was not risen during this session to allow members to go back to existing supporting document Marc Emmelmann, TU Berlin

  5. May 2010 Progress (3) • Given meeting rooms were available Thursday PM2, members of FIA SG decided to give WG members the chance to further discuss in a face-to-face meeting to discuss “remaining open issues coming from AM1 session”. • This has been announced via the 802.11-WG and FIA-reflector stating that we will discuss the issues during last session and we especially were thankful for security experts to participate • During this meeting, no new material was presented. Presentation slides containing technical description of one possible approach was given to WNG in the process of forming FIA SG. Marc Emmelmann, TU Berlin

  6. Addressed open issued • There was believe of the participants that the scope of the PAR should be as narrow as it is stated right now and that extending the scope would require feedback from the entire WG • Security related issues • Presented reference to a paper comparing security of 802.11i with security of one possible solution to achieve FIA • Paul Lambert, actively working on security, participated in the discussion stating that he believes security level of 11i can be maintained given the narrow scope of the PAR • Audience believed that technical feasibility has been shown (which is required for the PAR) and that final proposals to be developed in a task group should be subject to a detailed security analysis • Added one sentence to the PAR assuring to maintain 802.11i security level to assure WG members that such an analysis will not be neglected by the task group • The audience believed that open issues were addressed in documents available on the server since forming the SG • Discussed if the PAR should be moved as a personal motion;Note: 9 people attending Thu PM2 time slot vs. 12 people in AM 1 slot.
