This can be used, e.g., with mac80211-based Linux drivers with
nl80211. This allows over-the-air FT protocol to be used (IEEE
802.11r).
Since the nl80211 interface needed for this is very recent (added
today into wireless-testing.git), driver_nl80211.c has backwards
compatibility code that uses WEXT for association if the kernel does
not support the new commands. This compatibility code can be
disabled by defining NO_WEXT_COMPAT. That code will also be removed
at some point to clean up driver_nl80211.c.
The wps_context data is now managed at wpa_supplicant, not EAP-WSC. This
makes wpa_supplicant design for WPS match with hostapd one and also
makes it easier configure whatever parameters and callbacks are needed
for WPS.
This cleans up the internal interface between different modules and is
the first step in getting wpa_supplicant design closer to hostapd as far
as WPS is concerned.
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.
delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time between 0 and
60 seconds if multiple Michael MIC failures are detected with the same PTK
(i.e., the Authenticator does not rekey PTK on first failure report). This
is disabled by default and can be enabled with a build option
CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config.
This may help in making a chopchop attack take much longer time by forcing
the attacker to wait 60 seconds before knowing whether a modified frame
resulted in a MIC failure.
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.
This may be needed if the AP does not disconnect in case of EAP-FAST
unauthenticated provisioning (EAP-Failure). Adding the local short timeout
will speed up the process in such a case by reducing the wait (which can
often be up to 60 seconds).
IEEE 802.11w/D6.0 defines new AKMPs to indicate SHA256-based algorithms for
key derivation (and AES-CMAC for EAPOL-Key MIC). Add support for using new
AKMPs and clean up AKMP processing with helper functions in defs.h.
Function 'wpa_sm_set_config' used the argument 'config' as the network
context which is a pointer to a local variable of the function
'wpa_supplicant_rsn_supp_set_config'.
This is one reason why no proactive key was generated. This network
context never matched with the network context saved in the pmksa cache
entries.
The structure 'rsn_supp_config' has already a member 'network_ctx' which
is now filled in by this patch with 'ssid'.

This avoids getting stuck in state where wpa_supplicant has canceled scans,
but the driver is actually in disassociated state. The previously used code
that controlled scan timeout from WPA module is not really needed anymore
(and has not been needed for past four years since authentication timeout
was separated from scan request timeout), so this can simply be removed to
resolved the race condition. As an extra bonus, this simplifies the
interface to WPA module.
