WNG presentations:
Inclusion of AES-256 into IEEE by Don Sturek ( )
Consensus (25/0/0) was to form a Security Next Generation Study Group to add AES-256 support (minimally) to IEEE
If the existing Auxiliary Security Header cannot easily be modified to support the addition of AES-256, the Study Group will create an alternative means, likely via the addition of Information Elements, to provide the ability to add AES-256 plus add the ability to negotiate the use of other security cipher suites and key lengths.
Enhancement of UWB RFID PHYs to add bi-directional capability by Tim Harrington ( )
Consensus (3/0/7) was to form an IG to resolve concerns displayed during SC WNG
Formation of a Low Power Wide Area Network SG by Jörg Robert ( )
Consensus (13/1/7) was to form a SG LPWA to add an amendment focusing on very low payload bit-rates (e.g. <30kBit/s) in license exempt frequency bands.
This amendment would achieve a significantly increased robustness in case of interference from other users in license exempt frequency bands.
