Abstract
Techniques and systems for associating a client with an access point using a security protocol are described. A described technique includes initiating an association request; establishing an association between a first device and a second device different from the first device based on the association request; participating in a handshake including exchanging an operational key between the first device and the second device during the handshake; and entering an operational phase using the operational key when the handshake is successful. Participating in the handshake can include participating in an authenticated handshake when the association request indicates an authenticated access, and participating in an unauthenticated handshake when the association request indicates an unauthenticated access.
