Certainly. I just don't want to have it crash on an AP that advertises
completely bogus information :)

I was going to call it RSN/WPA2 but that was too long for nice
displaying. Now that I think about it though, I think RSN is more
correct because WPA2 certification doesn't include any 11w things which
this will include. I suspect something like WPA3 will be done for that.
Who knows :)
