Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING SECURITY MATERIAL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/005399
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An apparatus and method establish a secure, direct, station-to-station communication between a first station and a second station in a topology (e.g., PBSS) having a central secret holder/provider that allows secure, direct, station-to-station communications and that allows secure station-to-station broadcast communications. The first station and the second station will have previously established a security association (SA) with a topology control point (PCP). The method includes creating pair-wise unique material for the first station. The pair-wise unique material is computed as a function of (i) a known shared secret associated with the PCP, (ii) a first piece of unique data associated with the first station, and (iii) a second piece of unique data associated with the second station. The method includes securely communicating the pair-wise unique material from the first station to the second station.
