5. New - CAPWAP WG
Request for (future) IEEE Review of CAPWAP objectives document, expected March05
Request for plan to resolve authenticator identity issue.
The centralized model encourages AC implementations to use one PMK for many different WTPs.  This practice facilitates speedy transition by a station from one WTP to another WTP that is connected to the same AC without establishing a separate PMK.  However, this leaves the station in a difficult position.  The station cannot distinguish between a compromised PMK and one that is intentionally being shared. This issue must be resolved, but the resolution is beyond the scope of the CAPWAP working group.  The venue for this resolution is to be determined by the  IEEE 802 and IETF liaisons.
Liaison discussion underway
