<t>RFC8110

<t>RFC 8110 describes Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE), a mode that allows
unauthenticated clients to connect to a network using encrypted traffic. This
document transfers the ongoing maintenance and further development of the protocol to the IEEE 802.11 Working Group.</t>

      <t>This document updates RFC8110 RFC 8110 by noting that future work on the protocol described in RFC8110 therein will occur in the IEEE 802.11 Working Group.</t>
