Patent

CA 2605682

A wireless device that desires to be connected to a wireless network broadcasts itself and its capabilities to a network using an information element. The information element is provided with frames, such as management frames, in a channel that is not protected or encrypted. The information element is forwarded to one or more potential registrar devices. One of the registrar devices then provides configuration information to the enrollee, for example as a registrar information element. The configuration information may be passed out of band or in band, and may be passed using cryptography, which may involve public key cryptography, encryption with a PIN, or some other type of secure exchange.

Un dispositif sans fil souhaitant être connecté à un réseau sans fil transmet des informations sur lui-même et sur ses capacités à un réseau au moyen d'un élément d'informations. Cet élément d'informations est pourvu de trames, telles que des trames de gestion, dans un canal non protégé ou crypté. Cet élément d'informations est réacheminé vers un ou plusieurs dispositifs de registraire potentiels. Un des dispositifs de registraire fournit ensuite des informations de configuration au dispositif inscrit, par exemple un élément d'informations de registraire. La transmission de ces informations de configuration peut être effectuée hors bande ou dans la bande et par cryptographie, y compris par cryptographie à clé publique, cryptage avec un code PIN ou tout autre type d'échange sécurisé.
