Adopted proposal focuses on additions to the Key Descriptor ( )
Key establishment/agreement among devices results in creation of a unique key index with security properties shared among participating devices
No over the air signaling other than that already supported in IEEE
Discussed possibly adding an optional descriptive IE on the security properties in use and/or capabilities but that is tabled and will not be pursued unless we find a need for it

Other topics discussed in Warsaw
In IEEE md, introduce comments to change the term “CCM *” to read “AEAD” where referring to the security mode in general
In IEEE , sections like Annex B and Annex C which cover the details of implementations using CCM *, create similar artifacts for other supported AEAD cipher suites (e.g. GCM, PolyChaCha20, etc.)
Use RFC 5116/RFC 5282/RFC 7253/RFC 7539 to select candidate AEAD cipher suites for IEEE
Create a process for creating IEEE Annex B/C material for additionally supported AEAD ciphers

IEEE Wireless Next Generation presentation in San Diego for enhancements to IEEE
For IEEE :
For each Annex, create text describing how to take the security key material and create keys for key lengths up to 512 bits.
Add in text on group key/multicast
