Annoying deviances from the 802.11-2016 spec in the names of cipher suites

Hi folks, I notice that the names used in the code for the 802.11 dissector deviate in annoying ways from IEEE 802.11-2016. For example: static const value_string ieee80211_rsn_cipher_vals[] = { {0, "NONE"}, // Spec says: Use group cipher suite {1, "WEP (40-bit)"}, // Spec says: WEP-40 {2, "TKIP"}, {3, "AES (OCB)"}, // Spec says: Reserved {4, "AES (CCM)"}, // Spec says: GCMP-128 {5, "WEP (104-bit)"}, // Spec says: WEP-104 {6, "BIP (128)"}, // Spec says: BIP-CMAC-128 {7, "Group addressed traffic not allowed"}, {8, "GCMP (128)" }, // Spec says: GCMP-128 {9, "GCMP (256)" }, // Spec says: GCMP-256 {10, "CCMP (256)" }, // Spec says: CCMP-256 {11, "BIP (GMAC-128)" }, // Spec says: BIP-GMAC-128 {12, "BIP (GMAC-256)" }, // Spec says: BIP-GMAC-256 {13, "BIP (CMAC-256)" }, // Spec says: BIP-CMAC-256 {0, NULL} }; I think we should conform to the spec as far as possible. Does anyone have any objections to me fixing these? -- Regards, Richard Sharpe (何以解憂?唯有杜康。--曹操)(传说杜康是酒的发明者) ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
