Communication apparatus, communication method, and storage medium
When a communication apparatus that can execute authentication that uses a Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)2 method and authentication that uses a WPA3 method performs communication with another communication apparatus in a state in which a link is established with the other communication apparatus via a plurality of frequency channels, the communication apparatus executes authentication using the WPA3 method based on at least one frequency channel of the plurality of frequency channels being a frequency channel included in a specific frequency band.
1 . A communication apparatus configured to support at least a security method that uses Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) 2 and a security method that uses WPA3, the communication apparatus comprising:
at least one memory that stores a set of instructions; and
at least one processor that executes the instructions, the instructions, when executed, causing the communication apparatus to perform operations comprising:
providing, to a display unit, a display item for accepting a selection of a security method for a network constructed by the communication apparatus;
wherein, in the display item, a first display item for accepting a selection of a security method for a first network capable of setting up a plurality of links allows selection of only a security method that uses WPA3 or a security method that uses Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE).
2 . The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in the display item, a second display item for accepting a selection of a security method for a second network capable of setting up a single link using a frequency channel included in a 6-gigahertz (GHz) band allows selection of only a security method that uses WPA3 or a security method that uses OWE.
3 . The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, the communication performed in the state where the plurality of links is established is a multi-link complying with Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard series.
4 . The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of links includes a link established via a frequency channel included in a 6-gigahertz (GHz) band.
5 . The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first display item allows selection of only a security method that uses WPA3.
6 . The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in the display item, a third display item for accepting a selection of a security method for a third network capable of setting up a single link using a frequency channel included in a 2.4 GHz band allows selection of any one of a plurality of security methods including at least a security method that uses WPA2.
7 . The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in the display item, a fourth display item for accepting a selection of a security method for a fourth network capable of setting up a single link using a frequency channel included in a 5 GHz band allows selection of any one of a plurality of security methods including at least a security method that uses WPA2.
8 . The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first display item displays a security method other than the security method that uses WPA3 or the security method that uses OWE in a grayed-out state to indicate that said security method is unselectable.
9 . The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display unit is included in an external apparatus capable of communicating with the communication apparatus, and wherein the providing the display item includes transmitting information for displaying the display item to the external apparatus.
10 . A control method for a communication apparatus that can execute at least a security method that uses Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) 2 and a security method that uses WPA3, the method comprising:
providing, to a display unit, a display item for accepting a selection of a security method for a network constructed by the communication apparatus;
wherein, in the display item, a first display item for accepting a selection of a security method for a first network capable of setting up a plurality of links allows selection of only a security method that uses WPA3 or a security method that uses Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE).
11 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as a method for a communication apparatus according to claim 10 .
