I don't know if you have seen this, but ISO rejected the WAPI standard proposal, opting instead for 802.11i/WPA2.

How terrible, AES instead of the secret sauce-cipher. ,-)

WAPI is no longer secret sausce. It has been published in Chinese, including the formerly unpublished SMS4 block cipher.

Great, now could anybody please decipher the Chinese-encrypted description? ;-)

On a more serious note, has anybody done any analysis of SMS4 yet? The only thing I could find when Googling was this ISO document related to the fast track-effort. The actual text about SMS4 is rather brief:
