Basic Information
Scope
Scope: Currently, all widely used wireless LAN technology standards have implemented security protection for data frames, but not for management frames. Hackers can masquerade as legitimate workstations and send disassociation and link verification messages to cause workstation network disruptions. The process of re-establishing association and authentication takes time, leading to denial-of-service attacks on the network. Therefore, it is necessary to provide security protection for management frame information to ensure safer, more efficient, and more reliable wireless connections. This standard is part of the GB15629.11 series of national wireless LAN extension standards, and its content is consistent with the national standards that have been issued. Main technical content: The main content of this standard is to add management frame protection technology to the original GB15629.11 series of national wireless LAN standards, thereby ensuring that wireless LAN can provide safer and more efficient wireless connections. The users of this standard include production enterprises, testing institutions, and scientific research institutions in the communication industry. The modifications to this amendment are as follows: — New content has been added to the terms and definitions in Chapter 3; — The content of Chapters 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 has been supplemented, and the corresponding figures and tables have been renumbered; — The corresponding content in Appendix D has been added.
