This commit adds description of the main changes from the forking of
hostap-1.git for 1.x releases to the current master branch snapshot.

IEEE 802.11r KDF uses key length in the derivation and as such, the PTK
length must be specified correctly. The previous version was deriving
using 512-bit PTK regardless of the negotiated cipher suite; this works
for TKIP, but not for CCMP. Update the code to use proper PTK length
based on the pairwise cipher.
This fixed PTK derivation for both IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w (when
using AKMP that specifies SHA-256-based key derivation). The fixed
version does not interoperate with the previous versions. [Bug 307]
This was broken by 510c02d4a3 which added
validation of eap_ttls_phase2_eap_init() return value. The main problem
in the code trying to initialize a new phase 2 EAP method
unconditionally; this should only happen if there is a new method in the
inner method sequence.
The EAP server state machine will need to have special code in
getDecision() to avoid starting passthrough operations before having
completed Identity round in the beginning of reauthentication. This was
broken when moving into using the full authenticator state machine from
RFC 4137 in 0.6.x.
TX/RX bytes are now reported correctly (typo ended up leaving TX bytes
uninitialized and set RX bytes value to use correct TX bytes). TX/RX
packet counts are not yet available from kernel, so we have to clear the
values to avoid reporting bogus data.
Try to match PRI/SEC channel with neighboring 20/40 MHz BSSes per
IEEE 802.11n/D7.0 11.14.3.2. This is not yet complete implementation,
but at least some parts of the 40 MHz coex are improved.
40 MHz operation maybe rejected (i.e., fall back to using 20 MHz) or
pri/sec channels may be switched if needed.
This adds mostly feature complete external Registrar support with the
main missing part being proper support for multiple external Registrars
working at the same time and processing of concurrent registrations when
using an external Registrar.
This code is based on Sony/Saice implementation
(https://www.saice-wpsnfc.bz/) and the changes made by Ted Merrill
(Atheros) to make it more suitable for hostapd design and embedded
systems. Some of the UPnP code is based on Intel's libupnp. Copyrights
and licensing are explained in src/wps/wps_upnp.c in more detail.
TX status information for all transmitted data frames is not going to
be sent to hostapd anymore, so the CPU load with high traffic load is
going to be significantly reduced.
The default interval is now 5 seconds (used to be 1 second for
interactive mode and 2 seconds for wpa_cli -a). The interval can be
changed with -G<seconds> command line option.
It looks like this never survived the move from IEEE 802.1X-2001 to
IEEE 802.1X-2004 and EAP state machine (RFC 4137). The retransmission
scheduling and control is now in EAP authenticator and the
calculateTimeout() producedure is used to determine timeout for
retransmission (either dynamic backoff or value from EAP method hint).
The recommended calculations based on SRTT and RTTVAR (RFC 2988) are not
yet implemented since there is no round-trip time measurement available
yet.
This should make EAP authentication much more robust in environments
where initial packets are lost for any reason. If the EAP method does
not provide a hint on timeout, default schedule of 3, 6, 12, 20, 20, 20,
... seconds will be used.
driver_test can now be used either over UNIX domain socket or UDP
socket. This makes it possible to run the test over network and makes it
easier to port driver_test to Windows.
hostapd configuration: test_socket=UDP:<listen port>
wpa_supplicant configuration: driver_param=test_udp=<dst IP addr>:<port>
Only one of the authentication frame types is encrypted. In order for
static WEP encryption to work properly (i.e., to not encrypt the frame),
we need to tell mac80211 about the frames that must not be encrypted.
This adds WPS support for both hostapd and wpa_supplicant. Both programs
can be configured to act as WPS Enrollee and Registrar. Both PBC and PIN
methods are supported.
Currently, hostapd has more complete configuration option for WPS
parameters and wpa_supplicant configuration style will likely change in
the future. External Registrars are not yet supported in hostapd or
wpa_supplicant. While wpa_supplicant has initial support for acting as
an Registrar to configure an AP, this is still using number of hardcoded
parameters which will need to be made configurable for proper operation.
It the message was large enough to require fragmentation (e.g., if a large
Session Ticket data is included), More Fragment flag was set, but no
more fragments were actually sent (i.e., Access-Accept was sent out).
(e.g., via driver_nl80211 when using mac80211) instead of using hostapd as
the source of the regulatory information (i.e., information from CRDA is
now used with mac80211); this allows 5 GHz channels to be used with hostapd
(if allowed in the current regulatory domain).
Updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
needed with that version anymore).
Added a new configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to
enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against TKIP
deficiencies. This can be set either by the Authenticator (to initiate
periodic 4-way handshake to rekey PTK) or by the Supplicant (to request
Authenticator to rekey PTK).
With both wpa_ptk_rekey and wpa_group_rekey (in hostapd) set to 600, TKIP
keys will not be used for more than 10 minutes which may make some attacks
against TKIP more difficult to implement.
Changed EAP-FAST configuration to use separate fields for A-ID and
A-ID-Info (eap_fast_a_id_info) to allow A-ID to be set to a fixed
16-octet len binary value for better interoperability with some peer
implementations; eap_fast_a_id is now configured as a hex string.
Previous version could have allowed a broken client to complete WPA (or
WPA2) authentication even if the selected proto was not enabled in hostapd
configuration.
