Systems and methods are provided for encryption enhancement for a multi-link operation. Various subsets of addresses (or all addresses) associated with the frame are set to a determined known value, allowing encryption of the mac protocol data unit (MPDU) at a controller without knowledge of which particular link the frames will be sent. The multi-link devices (MLDs) used in the above communication may conduct communications in compliance with the IEEE 802.11be standard.
