This draft is a work item of the Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points Working Group of the IETF.
Title : CAPWAP Threat Analysis for 802.11 Deployments
Author(s) : S. Kelly, C. Clancy
Filename : draft-ietf-capwap-threat-analysis-00.txt
Pages : 30

Early Wireless LAN (WLAN) deployments feature a "fat" Access Point
(AP) which serves as a standalone interface between the wired and
wireless network segments. However, this model raises scaling,
mobility, and manageability issues, and the CAPWAP protocol is being
developed in reponse. CAPWAP effectively splits the fat AP
functionality into two network elements, and the communication
channel between these components may traverse potentially hostile
hops. This document analyzes the security exposure resulting from
the introduction of CAPWAP, and summarizes the associated security
considerations for CAPWAP implementations and deployments.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
