  1. Next Generation Security for 802.11 • What is 21st Century Security? • 802.11 Responsibilities • VOIP/VoWLAN Reality • Identity Solutions • 802.11 Architecture

  2. What is Security? Security comes from certainty about "Who, What, Where, When, How and Why". Whatever adds to that certainty increases security, and whatever obscures that certainty decreases security. Certainty is about knowing the neighborhood, including identity, the regulatory domains, location, and surrounding equipment.

  3. Shared medium (all wireless in regulatory domains) Identity Assurance Location Privacy Transition from Fear to Safety Assurance From Spoofing to Identity Protection Uncertainty Protection and Minor Risk Acceptance Weapons of Internet Offense and Defense Reliability Assurance (protection from DOS attacks) 21st Century Security

  4. Leading network standard (11ma, 11k,11n,11r, 11s, 11T, 11u, 11v, 11w, 11y, and 11z) Should be primary to deliver mobility/identity/location privacy/identity protection/uncertainty protection/independent from 802.3 and the Internet Reliability assurance during handoffs (11k and 11r) How 802.11 Fits in 21st Century Security

  5. 802.11 leadership in an unwired world Independence from previous wired thought VoWLAN – 802.11 issues (QoS, DOS, etc) Transition from ESS to P2P Enabling seamless secure wireless to wired (P2P as in VoWLAN) Enabling identity-based security wireless to wired (P2P as in VoWLAN) 802.11 Responsibilities

  6. 802.11 secure wireless (WPA and RSN) Transition to the wired network insecure AP is the source of the transition to the wired 802.11 Leadership

  7. Security for wireless enough Applications must handle their own security Not the responsibility of the wireless realm 802.11 in prime position to solve the problem Previous Thought

  8. Security end-to-end will require IEEE 802.11 protocols (mobility and identity) VoWLAN will change the world IETF security not enough (HIP part of SMA) Transition to new thinking about Internet security (P2P) 802.11 should step up to new thinking Future Thinking

  9. 11u VoWLAN projects ENUM ECRIT 11e/WMM discrepancies Not adequate for widespread VoWLAN Failure of the QSE proposed 802.11 work 802.11 security only addresses ESS Must address wireless to wired security VoWLAN - 802.11 Issues

  10. VOIP Reality • VOIP will operate over both wired and wireless • SIP reality is over both wired and wireless • Secure communications is BSS/ESS and VPN (not secure past the VPN server) • VOIP to demand secure voice comm • IETF working on securing P2P (P2PSIP)

  11. VoWLAN entering the BSS and ESS via wire VOIP requiring peer-to-peer or end-to-end secure voice communications 802.11 must have an end-to-end and peer-to-peer transition and handoff solution VoWLAN Reality

  12. End-to-End/Peer-to-Peer • Tunnels • SSL • SIP/HIP (Host Identity Protocol)

  13. Naming and Addressing IP Addresses vulnerable MAC addresses vulnerable PKI Identity-based security associations OK IETF Middlebox Capabilities Potential Solution: AP must have middlebox features HIP Middlebox possibilities or SSL Tunnel Handoffs Transition from ESS to P2P

  14. Possible Solutions HIP Secure Tunnels Security Solutions IPv6/MIPv6 Identity Based HIP 802.1x Enabling Secure P2P – Wired and Wireless

  15. HIP Cryptographic Names/Identifiers Security Associations HIP-enabled communications Parity Need ongoing parity Overlap in BSS Changing keys by symbol Identity-Based P2P

  16. VPN HTTP PROXY SMA Big Picture AP Middlebox AP Middlebox SCADAnet Plane Overlay Network Cellular WiMAX WiMAX Subnet Cell Subnet Subnet A Intranet Plane Subnet B VPN Internet Plane HIP MB
