Abstract:

   RADIUS has attributes that let an IEEE 802.11 authenticator report
   the AKM suite and pairwise cipher selected for an association.  That
   is useful, but it is not enough anymore.  IEEE 802.11, as amended,
   also defines security profiles.  A security profile is the complete
   set of AKM, pairwise cipher, and related security capabilities
   accepted for an association.

   The problem is that the AKM and the pairwise cipher no longer maps to
   a single security profile.  Using these two values, the RADIUS server
   cannot tell which of the security profiles was accepted.

   This document defines the WLAN-Security-Profile RADIUS attribute.
   The attribute reports the IEEE 802.11 security profile accepted by
   the responder for the association.  It complements the existing IEEE
   802 network attributes.
