  • Publication number: 20120063342
    Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus transmits a packet that includes a destination address, a source address, and a frame body over a wireless network. The wireless communication apparatus computes a first calculation value for use in detecting packet falsification based on a destination address, a source address, and a frame body by using a predetermined computation method, and stores the first calculation value that is associated with the destination address. When a second packet is to be transmitted to a same destination address that is the same as the destination address stored in the storage unit, the wireless communication apparatus computes a second calculation value using the first calculation value stored in the storage unit and the frame body contained in the second packet by using the predetermined computation method.
