Maintain internal entropy pool for augmenting random number generation By default, make hostapd and wpa_supplicant maintain an internal entropy pool that is fed with following information: hostapd: - Probe Request frames (timing, RSSI) - Association events (timing) - SNonce from Supplicants wpa_supplicant: - Scan results (timing, signal/noise) - Association events (timing) The internal pool is used to augment the random numbers generated with the OS mechanism (os_get_random()). While the internal implementation is not expected to be very strong due to limited amount of generic (non-platform specific) information to feed the pool, this may strengthen key derivation on some devices that are not configured to provide strong random numbers through os_get_random() (e.g., /dev/urandom on Linux/BSD). This new mechanism is not supposed to replace proper OS provided random number generation mechanism. The OS mechanism needs to be initialized properly (e.g., hw random number generator, maintaining entropy pool over reboots, etc.) for any of the security assumptions to hold. If the os_get_random() is known to provide strong ramdom data (e.g., on Linux/BSD, the board in question is known to have reliable source of random data from /dev/urandom), the internal hostapd random pool can be disabled. This will save some in binary size and CPU use. However, this should only be considered for builds that are known to be used on devices that meet the requirements described above. The internal pool is disabled by adding CONFIG_NO_RANDOM_POOL=y to the .config file.

# wpa_supplicant depends on strong random number generation being available

ext_password: Implement new file-based backend It was not easily possible to separate configuration of an interface and credentials when using the configuration file instead of the control interface or D-Bus interface for setting up the network profiles. This makes it hard to distribute configuration across a set of nodes which use wpa_supplicant without also having to store credentials in the same file. While this can be solved via scripting, having a native way to achieve this would be preferable. Turns out there already is a framework to have external password storages. It only had a single "test" backend though, which is kind of an in-memory store which gets initialized with all passwords up front and is mainly for testing purposes. This isn't really suitable for the above use case: the backend cannot be initialized as part of the central configuration given that it needs the credentials, and we want to avoid scripting. This commit thus extends the infrastructure to implement a new backend, which instead uses a simple configuration file containing key-value pairs. The file follows the format which wpa_supplicant.conf(5) uses: empty lines and comments are ignored, while passwords can be specified with simple `password-name=password-value` assignments. With this new backend, splitting up credentials and configuration becomes trivial: # /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ext_password_backend=file:/etc/wpa_supplicant/psk.conf network={ ssid="foobar" psk=ext:foobar } # /etc/wpa_supplicant/psk.conf foobar=ecdabff9c80632ec6fcffc4a8875e95d45cf93376d3b99da6881298853dc686b Alternative approaches would be to support including other configuration files in the main configuration, such that common configuration and network declarations including credentials are split up into separate files. But the implementation would probably have been more complex compared to reusing the already-existing framework for external password backends. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>

#
# Automatic selection is currently only done through initialization, later on
# we hope to do background checks to keep us moving to more ideal channels as

External persistent storage for PMKSA cache entries This adds new wpa_supplicant control interface commands PMKSA_GET and PMKSA_ADD that can be used to store PMKSA cache entries in an external persistent storage when terminating a wpa_supplicant process and then restore those entries when starting a new process. The previously added PMKSA-CACHE-ADDED/REMOVED events can be used to help in synchronizing the external storage with the memory-only volatile storage within wpa_supplicant. "PMKSA_GET <network_id>" fetches all stored PMKSA cache entries bound to a specific network profile. The network_id of the current profile is available with the STATUS command (id=<network_id). In addition, the network_id is included in the PMKSA-CACHE-ADDED/REMOVED events. The output of the PMKSA_GET command uses the following format: <BSSID> <PMKID> <PMK> <reauth_time in seconds> <expiration in seconds> <akmp> <opportunistic> For example: 02:00:00:00:03:00 113b8b5dc8eda16594e8274df4caa3d4 355e98681d09e0b69d3a342f96998aa765d10c4459ac592459b5efc6b563eff6 30240 43200 1 0 02:00:00:00:04:00 bbdac8607aaaac28e16aacc9152ffe23 e3dd6adc390e685985e5f40e6fe72df846a0acadc59ba15c208d9cb41732a663 30240 43200 1 0 The PMKSA_GET command uses the following format: <network_id> <BSSID> <PMKID> <PMK> <reauth_time in seconds> <expiration in seconds> <akmp> <opportunistic> (i.e., "PMKSA_ADD <network_id> " prefix followed by a line of PMKSA_GET output data; however, the reauth_time and expiration values need to be updated by decrementing them by number of seconds between the PMKSA_GET and PMKSA_ADD commands) For example: PMKSA_ADD 0 02:00:00:00:03:00 113b8b5dc8eda16594e8274df4caa3d4 355e98681d09e0b69d3a342f96998aa765d10c4459ac592459b5efc6b563eff6 30140 43100 1 0 PMKSA_ADD 0 02:00:00:00:04:00 bbdac8607aaaac28e16aacc9152ffe23 e3dd6adc390e685985e5f40e6fe72df846a0acadc59ba15c208d9cb41732a663 30140 43100 1 0 This functionality is disabled be default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PMKSA_CACHE_EXTERNAL=y build configuration option. It should be noted that this allows any process that has access to the wpa_supplicant control interface to use PMKSA_ADD command to fetch keying material (PMK), so this is for environments in which the control interface access is restricted.
