In the alphabet soup of wireless standards, I had not heard of 802.11u
before now.

Hi!

Reading this old post:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/04/open-wireless-movement

I wanted to point some research done on this some time ago:

http://www.riosec.com/articles/Open-Secure-Wireless/Open-Secure-Wireless.pdf

And also some progress:

If you are not doing that already, I think EFF should get on board of
supporting those changes to the standard.

(BTW, originally, as presented in 1.0 paper, WiFi standard does allow
open and secure connections, just no operating system really
implements it because they all first prompt for the password, before
trying to connect to the encrypted WiFi network to figure out the
password is really required.)
