Abstract: A method and a wireless device for exchanging messages with an access point (AP) while the wireless device is in a pre-associated state during which the wireless device is unauthenticated and is not associated with a network. The wireless device receives a beacon from the AP indicating that the AP will protect messages communicated with the wireless device. The wireless device then sends to the AP a message including a request for information from the AP. The wireless device obtains a public key of the AP, and receives an encrypted response to the request and an encrypted symmetric key. The wireless device decrypts the encrypted symmetric key using the public key of the AP to recover a symmetric key that is not encrypted, and decrypts the encrypted response to the request using the decrypted symmetric key to recover a response to the request that is not encrypted.

Abstract: In some examples, a wireless device includes a communication interface to communicate with a wireless network, and at least one processor configured to, receive, from an access point (AP), information including a network address policy of the wireless network. The at least one processor is configured to further, in response to the information including the network address policy, use an address of the wireless device according to the network address policy.

Abstract: In some examples, a system includes a plurality of network controllers, a WI-FI wireless local area network (WLAN) over which at least a first network controller and a second network controller of the plurality of network controllers are to communicate, wherein a link between the first network controller and the second network controller through the WI-FI WLAN is a synchronized link.

Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device receives configuration information relating to network connectivity with a network of a vehicle, the configuration information including a credential. The electronic device establishes, using the configuration information, a connection with the network of the vehicle to access a service, and revokes the credential in response to a termination of the access of the service.

Abstract: Disclosed are compounds for treating the symptoms of an acute or chronic disorder mediated by the classical pathway of the complement cascade. The compounds are of Formula I or a solvate, hydrate, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or prodrug thereof; wherein Ra, Rb, and Rc are as defined in the specification, as are A Z, Q, R1 and R2.
