[PATCH] mac80211: Encrypt "Group addressed privacy" action frames

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Previously, the action frames to group address was not encrypted. But
[1] "Table 8-38 Category values" indicates "Mesh" and "Multihop" category
action frames should be encrypted (Group addressed privacy == yes). And the
encyption key should be MGTK ([1] 10.13 Group addressed robust management frame
procedures). So this patch modifies the code to make it suitable for spec.

[1] IEEE Std 802.11-2012
