P2P mode security/encryption

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3100

We are trying to set up an encrypted p2p connection between an Android tablet (acting as a GO), and a cc3100 device (acting as a client). I'm confused about what the cc3100 supports versus what the WiFi P2P Specification calls for, especially in the area of authentication. I'm looking at Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Technical Specification v1.5. In section 3.2.1 (Group operation section), it specifies that the credentials for a P2P Group shall use WPA2-PSK for authentication type, and AES as the encryption type. Obviously the cc3100 API does not support WPA2 authentication in P2P mode (it just seems to support push button or pin based authentication). So does WPA2 not apply to a p2p client trying to connect with a p2p GO? Also, I didn't see what encryption is used once a p2p connection is established. Can someone point me to where that is described? Lastly, once a p2p connection is set up, can SSL be used for TCP connections?
