hi,
thanks for your reply.

one more question just to clarify.

although the PSK is known, the re-key mechanism should grant a private
and secure connection between client and AP as Vito confirms.
moreover, by setting that interval to a reasonable low value, the
chances to decrypt a whole client's session should become scarce even if
the PSK is known.

would be possible to elaborate a little bit more on that?

any web resource on this particular aspect of the topic is appreciated.

thanks in advance

kind regards
