Re: Cannot Decrypt Fast BSS Transition (802.11r) Packets

[Mikael Kanstrup <mikael.kanstrup () gmail com>]

Hi,

Fast BSS Transitioning decryption is unfortunately not supported by
Wireshark.

Wireshark uses passphrase/PSK/PMK together with 4-way handshake to derive
PTK and GTK. FT key hierarchy and key derivation is not handled by the
decryption engine so PTK remains unknown which makes decryption fail. And
unfortunately directly entering PTK for decryption is not supported either.
