wpa_supplicant can now reconfigure the AP by acting as an External
Registrar with the wps_reg command. Previously, this was only used
to fetch the current AP settings, but now the wps_reg command has
optional arguments which can be used to provide the new AP
configuration. When the new parameters are set, the WPS protocol run
is allowed to continue through M8 to reconfigure the AP instead of
stopping at M7.
An SMC router was reported to use 0x22 (WPAPSK + WPA2PSK) in the
authentication type of the provisioned credential and wpa_supplicant
rejected this as invalid. Work around this by replacing WPAPSK + WPA2PSK
with WPA2PSK.
Update credential to only include a single authentication and
encryption type in case the AP configuration includes more than one
option. Without this, the credential would be rejected if the AP was
configured to allow more than one authentication type.
wpa_supplicant can now initialize hostapd data structures when mode=2 is
used to set up an AP. The hostapd configuration is not yet set based on
wpa_supplicant network configuration block. In addition, the glue code
for hostapd driver_ops needs number of functions that will be needed for
AP functionality.
The new file wps_nfc.c and ndef.c implements NFC device independent
operation, wps_nfc_pn531.c implements NFC device dependent operation.
This patch is only for the following use case:
- Enrollee = wpa_supplicant
- Registrar = hostapd internal Registrar
Following NFC methods can be used:
- Enrollee PIN with NFC
- Registrar PIN with NFC
- unencrypted credential with NFC
Encrypted credentials are not supported.
Enrollee side operation:
Registrar side operation:
Example configuration.
CONFIG_WPS=y
CONFIG_WPS_NFC=y
CONFIG_WPS_NFC_PN531=y
I used NFC device "NXP PN531". The NFC device access method is
confidential, so I used outer library. Please download below files from

The hostapd/wpa_supplicant with this patch passed below tests on
"Wi-Fi WPS Test Plan Version 1.6".
4.2.5 Add device using NFC Method with password token
(I used SONY STA instead of NXP STA.)
4.2.6 Add device using NFC Method with configuration token
5.1.9 Add to AP using NFC Method with password token
through internal registrar
(I used SONY AP instead of NXP AP.)
5.1.10 Add to AP using NFC Method with configuration token
through internal registrar
Many deployed APs do not handle negotiation of security parameters well
when both TKIP and CCMP (or both WPA and WPA2) are enabled. The most
common end result seems to be ending up with the least secure option..
As a workaround, check whether the AP advertises WPA2/CCMP in Beacon
frames and add those options for the credential if needed. This allows
the client to select the most secure configuration regardless of how
broken the AP's WPS implementation is as far as auth/encr type
negotiation is concerned.
The old behavior of generating new DH keys can be maintained for non-OOB
cases and only OOB (in this case, with UFD) will use the pre-configured
DH keys to allow the public key hash to be checked.
It seems that WFA WPS spec says that default key index should be 1 (not
0). I think this meas that WEP key indexes region is not from 0 to 3,
but from 1 to 4 in WPS. At least WRT610N implemented it this way.
If a Registrar tries to configure the AP, but fails to validate the
device password (AP PIN), lock the AP setup after four failures. This
protects the AP PIN against brute force guessing attacks.
Some WPS APs do not set Selected Registrar attribute to 1 properly when
using an external Registrar. Allow such an AP to be selected for PIN
registration after couple of scan runs that do not find APs marked with
Selected Registrar = 1. This allows wpa_supplicant to iterate through
all APs that advertise WPS support without delaying connection with
implementations that set Selected Registrar = 1 properly.
The wps_cred_process option can be used to configure wpa_supplicant to
send received Credential attributes for external processing over
ctrl_iface and dbus. This allows external programs to update their
configuration when WPS is used to provision new networks.
This makes it easier to pass the credential data to external programs
(e.g., Network Manager) for processing. The actual use of this data is
not yet included in hostapd/wpa_supplicant.
The current implementation does not support WPA/WPA2-Enterprise
credentials. Ignore any credential that is using unsupported
authentication type to avoid potential issues with partially configured
network blocks.
Must not set pairwise_cipher/group_cipher for non-WPA/WPA2 networks
since the configuration parser is going to reject such values. In
addition, should not limit group_cipher to just TKIP or TKIP|CCMP just
in case the AP is using WEP as the group cipher. Default group_cipher
value can be used for all cases.
Generate a SHA1 hash -based UUID from the local MAC address if the UUID
was not configured. This makes it easier to prepare for WPS since there
is no need to generate an UUID.
UUID-E is not required to be present in Beacon frame, so we need to
accept scan results that do not have UUID-E as a valid PBC situation as
long as not more than one AP is in active PBC mode.
Change association behavior to match with ap_scan=1 when WPS is used in
ap_scan=2 mode with wildcard SSID matching. In addition, allow hardcoded
BSSID to be used to select AP even if selected registrar attribute is
not present.
This callback is now used to stop wpa_supplicant from trying to continue
using parameters (most likely, device password) that do not work in a
loop. In addition, wpa_gui can now notify user of failed registration.
The event callback will be used for various event messages and the M2D
notification is the first such message. It is used to notify wpa_gui
about Registrar not yet knowing the device password (PIN).
We need to be a bit more careful when removing the WPS configuration
block since wpa_s->current_ssid may still be pointing at it. In
addition, registrar pointer in wps_context will need to be cleared
since the context data is now maintained over multiple EAP-WSC runs.
Without this, certain WPS operations could have used freed memory.
Whenever new scan results include WPS AP(s) and the client is not
associated, send a notification message to control interface monitors.
This makes it easier for GUIs to notify the user about possible WPS
availability without having to go through the scan results.
Fragment WPS IE if needed to fit into the IE length limits in hostapd
and Reassemble WPS IE data from multiple IEs in wpa_supplicant.
In addition, moved WPS code from events.c into wps_supplicant.c to clean
up module interfaces.
New control interface commands WPS_PBC, WPS_PIN, and WPS_REG can be used
to start WPS processing. These add and select the WPS network block into
the configuration temporarily, i.e., there is no need to add the WPS
network block manually anymore.
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.
Previously, wpa_supplicant as Enrollee case was handled using a
different callback function pointer. However, now that the wps_context
structure is allocated for all cases, the same variable can be used in
all cases.
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.
