Answer:

The answer to this question is RSN(Robust Security Network).

Explanation:

The term RSN stands for Robust Security Network. This security network that allows you to create RSNAs(robust security network associations). It associates with STA and AP. Which provide the secure communication. It also provides authentication or association to the 4-Way Handshake.

STA used to AP(access point) sometimes, in which case an STA is any device communicating via the 802.11 protocol. So RSN provides security capabilities and establishes an association for future communication using those security capabilities.
