Usage Guidelines

WAPI defines a dynamic key negotiation mechanism, but there are still security risks if a STA uses the same encryption key for a long time. Both the USK and MSK have a lifetime. The USK or MSK needs to be updated when its lifetime ends.

Example

# Set the interval for updating a USK to 10000s, and number of retransmissions of USK negotiation packets to 5.
