T/WAPIA 007.2-2010 Guidelines for the Engineering Implementation of Wireless Local Area Network Products Part 2: WAPI and IEEE 802.11e
T/WAPIA 007.2-2010
Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This guidance technical document specifies the key issues of the engineering implementation of the integration of WAPI and IEEE 802.11e, including how to handle the quality of service control fields during the WAPI encryption process and the composition of the data for WAPI integrity verification. This guidance technical document is applicable to the engineering implementation of the integration of WAPI and the IEEE 802.11e standard; Main technical content: WAPI (Wireless Local Area Network Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure) provides a security solution for the data link layer in wireless local area networks, including functions such as identity authentication, key management, data encryption, data authentication, and replay protection; IEEE 802.11e provides a management and improvement solution for the quality of service in the media access control layer of wireless local area networks, including improvements to existing technologies such as DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) and PCF (Point Coordination Function). Since the two solutions involve different fields, there is no direct contradiction or conflict between them. They can be combined and complement each other. For a basic introduction to WAPI and IEEE 802.11e, please refer to Appendix A. The integration of WAPI and IEEE 802.11e follows the following basic principles: a) Non-security solutions in wireless local area networks should fully use IEEE 802.11e; b) Security solutions in wireless local area networks should fully use WAPI.
