  See www.wavesec.org.

  My opinion is that we can find a way to extend the IPsec authenticators
to cover the beacons in some way. I have some ideas, but I haven't researched
all of them yet.
 
  Also, the authorization model proposed on wavesec.org is appropriate
for "open" conference networks - not hotspots. A variation is appropriate
to totally closed networks (i.e. "airport baggage handlers"). 

  In addition, the keys used can be used to authenticate the DHCP process
as well, but the IETF documents are not done there. In particular, no
reference implementation is available. (I'd like to write one, but I'd
need funding to be able to devote serious time to it)
