METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING STATIONS WHICH ARE ASSOCIATED WITH WPA-PSK WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

A method and an apparatus for managing stations in a WPA-PSK wireless network are provided to give a temporary network access right to stations by using WFA simple configuration protocol. A method for managing stations in a WPA-PSK wireless network includes the steps of: performing a step of defining IEEE802.11 standard(510); judging whether or not station supports WFA simple configuration protocol(520); authenticating the station using a password of the station(540); judging whether or not the station is a guest station(560); transferring PSK to the station(565); generating PTK for the guest station(570); and transferring the PTK to the station through M8 message(580).
