Abstract
A remote station is configured with a certificate from a local root certificate authority for securing a wireless network. To configure the certificate, the remote station forwards a station public key to the local root certificate authority. The station public key is forwarded out-of-band of the wireless network. The remote station receives a certificate and a root public key from the local root certificate authority. The certificate is generated by the local root certificate authority based on the forwarded station public key, and the certificate and the root public key are received out-of-band of the wireless network. The remote station securely communicates, using the wireless network, with another station based on the certificate and the root public key.
