Abstract
A method for auto provisioning for a communication device in a wireless communication network comprises the steps of: receiving a request from a station; determining the validity of the request according to a verification code carried by the request; sending a response to the station; receiving a security message from the station; retrieving a security key carried by the security message; and executing network provisioning according to the security key.
Claims21
A method for auto provisioning for a communication device, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a request from a station;
- determining the validity of the request according to a verification code carried by the request;
- sending a response to the station;
- receiving a security message from the station;
- retrieving a security key carried by the security message;
- and
- executing network provisioning according to the security key,
- wherein the security message is a Wi-Fi protected setup (WPS) extensible authentication protocol (EAP) message, and the security key is an encrypted PIN code of the station for avoiding PIN code manual inputting.
