Dear dr,
please, let me try to share and elucidate (with you and the list) one
specific and conceptual point about "802.11i" and AES that intrigues
me.

I don't know if you can answer this, but it is worthy for reflection.

So,
Rijndael (AES) is a symmetric block cipher. Why WPA2 uses symmetric
cryptography in a communication (which is an asymmetric situation)?

Regards,
