Abstract  Abstract

A new key management approach is provided to secure the communication handoff between an access terminal and two access points. As the access terminal moves from the current access point to the new access point, the access terminal sends a short handoff request to the new access point. This short handoff request may include an access terminal ID; This short handoff request does not include the access point ID. The new access point may then send the identifier and the identifier of the access terminal to the authenticator. Using the previously generated master temporary key, access point identifier and access terminal identifier, the authenticator may generate a master session key. The master session key may then be sent by the authenticator to the access point. The access terminal independently generates the same new security key that allows the access terminal to securely communicate with the new access point.
