IEEE 802.11w-2009 is an approved amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard to increase the security of its management frames.

2020年10月5日 · The 802.11w amendment applies only to a set of robust management frames that are protected by the Protected Management Frames (PMF) service. These include Disassociation, Deauthentication, and Robust Action frames.

2024年5月2日 · This document covers details about the IEEE 802.11w management frame protection standard and its configuration on Cisco WLC.

2019年9月13日 · I've been experimenting with 802.11w (Protected Management Frame) and can't get it to work at all. None of the devices I've tested with seem to support it. Before I spend any more time on this, has anyone actually seen it work in the real world,

2009年10月23日 · The IEEE 802.11w standard aims to mitigate certain types of WLAN DoS attacks. 802.11w extends strong cryptographic protection to specific management frames (in a manner that is similar to what 802.11i/RSN defines for data frames).

Based on the IEEE 802.11w amendment, Protected Management Frames utilizes the Security Association teardown protection mechanism already in place for encrypted data frames and therefore improves the resiliency of a Wi-Fi network.

This amendment specifies the extensions to IEEE Std 802.11 for wireless local area networks (WLANs) providing mechanisms for protecting management frames.

2005年3月20日 · In this amendment to IEEE Std 802.11-2020, standardized modifications to both the IEEE 802.11 physical layer (PHY) and the IEEE 802.11 medium access control (MAC) sublayer are defined to enable at least one mode of operation capable of supporting a maximum throughput of at least 20 gigabits per second (measured at the MAC data service access ...

2024年9月1日 · 802.11w is a standard that aims to protect management frames and control frames. Data frames (if working with an authentication SSID) should be already protected via the encryption used. Although this standard has been available and supported since 2009, it was not until recently that this standard was required for WPA3 authentication suite of ...

2007年9月10日 · The 802.11w amendment offers three new security pieces: Data Origin Authenticity, Replay Detection, and Robust Management Frame Protection. The data origin authenticity mechanism defines a means by which a station that receives a data or robust management frame can determine which station transmitted the data or management frame.
