Secure discovery and connection to internet of things devices in a wireless local-area network

摘要

Apparatuses, methods, and computer readable media for secure discovery and connection to internet of things devices in a wireless local-area network are disclosed. An apparatus of a station comprising processing circuitry is disclosed. The processing circuitry may be configured to: encode a first packet to indicate to an access point to start discovery of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and decode a second packet from the access point. The second packet may include identifications of IoT devices unauthenticated with the access point. The processing circuitry may be configured to receive a selection from an application of the station of one of the one or more identifications of the IoT devices, and encode a third packet including the identification of the IoT device and an indication that the access point is to request establishment of a secure session with the IoT device.
