Abstract
Aspects of a system for enabling secure wireless communication of information between stations in a communication system may comprise a configurator, that exchanges configuration information with a client station, in an IEEE 802.11 communication system. The exchange of configuration information may be encrypted based on information transmitted between the configurator and the client station via a communication network, and information that remains locally on the configurator and locally on the client station.
