PPSK and 6GHz

PPSK and 6GHz

Hi

I was reading in the latest version of the XIQ User Guide and it stated

"Private Pre-Shared Key requires users to authenticate by entering a PPSK unique to each user (not available for 6 GHz)."

Does anyone know if use in 6GHz something that may be added later?

Thanks

WPA3 is mandatory in 6GHz, no other method (e.g.WPA, WPA2,WEP) is allowed.

PPSK relies on WPA2 Personal, because WPA2 P. allows the reverse-engineering of the passphrase based on it contributing to the master session key. WPA3 does not allow that.

Hi,

Are there any plan at Extreme to support PPSK in WPA3 ?

I know that SAE prevent using pre-calculated hash like in WPA2, but it looks like that some vendors are working on association between MAC Addresses and PPSK in WPA3.

This way SAE can be achieve (because the AP can choose the proper PPSK associated with the client MAC Address, and realize the correct calculation).

I know that MAC Randomisation can be tricky, but in some scenario this is something we can accept (in coWorking or Students environment, we can indicate users how to disable randomisation on specific SSID for instance)...

Thanks,
Laurent.

So when WPA2 retires there will be no more PPSK technology?
