ChangeLog for wpa_supplicant

2005-06-10 - v0.3.9
	* modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
	  Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
	  interoperate with some authentication servers
	* fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
	  Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
	  using assoc_info events
	* fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
	  identity or password is entered through control interface
	* added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
	  process id into a file
	* driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
	* driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
	  branch of madwifi CVS tree
	* added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
	  i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
	  be disabled with eap_workaround=0
	* driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
	  (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
	  this)
	* driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
	  processing

2005-02-13 - v0.3.8
	* fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
	  Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
	  overflow

2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
	* added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
	  wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
	  even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
	  authentication servers
	* fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
	  using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
	  ap_scan=2)
	* fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
	  identity/password/otp
	* fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
	  EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
	* all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
	  mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
	* renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
	  ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
	  configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW

2005-01-24 - v0.3.6
	* fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
	  when no matching AP is found

2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
	* added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
	  when using WPA2-PSK
	* fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
	  WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
	  retransmission of dropped frames)
	* fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
	  (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
	* fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
	  RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
	  pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
	  requires EAP workarounds
	* added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
	  authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
	  where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
	* fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
	  authentication attempt
	* allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
	  in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
	  verified)

2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
	* added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
	  (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
	  WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
	  key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
	  example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
	  only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
	  in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
	  supports WPA-None)
	* added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
	  mingw

2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
	* added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
	  wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
	* cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
	  small problems with error case processing not terminating on
	  EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
	* added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
	  Cisco AP when using WPA2
	* added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
	  Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
	  extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
	  certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
	  included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.

2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
	* fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
	* fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
	  could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
	* added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
	  (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
	  but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
	  ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
	* improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
	  authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
	* driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
	  (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
	  running)
	* driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
	* added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
	  based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
	  this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
	  the interface name
	* added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
	  file
	* driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
	  when exiting
	* modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
	  clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
	  problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
	  machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
	  information
	* added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
	  allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
	* driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
	  function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
	* added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
	  interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
	  authentication
	* fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
	  all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
	  unicast key)
	* driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
	  drivers
	* added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
	  dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)

2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
	* added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
	  PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
	* fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
	* added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
	  association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
	  e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
	  drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
	  ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
	  file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
	  policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
	  group, proto variables
	* added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
	  - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
	  - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
	  - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
	* control interface can now be removed at build time; add
	  CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
	* optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
	  (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
	* added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
	  easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
	  the association

2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
	* driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
	  (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
	* wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
	* PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
	  ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
	  actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
	  interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
	* PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
	  EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
	  peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
	  (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
	  reply
	* PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
	  the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
	  but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
	  label which is thus more suitable default option
	* added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
	* fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
	* added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
	  (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
	* added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
	  (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
	  WEP keys)
	* added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
	* fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
	  random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
	* added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
	* added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
	  session resumption)
	* added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
	  (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
	* added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
	  key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
	  dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
	  and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
	* added support for matching subject of the authentication server
	  certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
	  configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
	* changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
	  interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
	  drivers expect this
	* fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
	  connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
	* added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
	* added support for LEAP with WPA
	* added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
	  data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
	  v17 or newer
	* fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
	  only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
	* fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
	  must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
	  forever
	* changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
	  default; all key information can be included with -K command line
	  argument to match the previous behavior
	* added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
	  default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
	* set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
	  if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
	  with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
	  bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
	* avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
	  key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
	  handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
	  of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
	  association
	* changed driver interface API:
	  - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
	    version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
	    not defined)
	  - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
	  - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
	    interfaces has been converted to the new API
	* added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
	  wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
	  command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
	  (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
	* added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
	  sequential EAP packets
	* changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
	  CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
	* improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
	  verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
	  reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
	  Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
	  configuration
	* fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
	  IEs than just one WPA IE
	* added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
	  layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
	  required kernel mods have not yet been committed
	* made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
	  disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0

2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
	* resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
	  Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
	* driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
	  AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
	  for the broadcast key
	* driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
	  re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
	  WPA
	* added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
	  driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
	  currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
	  eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
	  Linux wireless extensions get support for this
	* added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
	  scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
	  enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
	  this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
	  use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
	  supporting wireless extensions.
	* driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
	  operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
	* added support for new EAP authentication methods:
	  EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
	* added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
	  wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
	  but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
	  a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
	  password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
	* changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
	  does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
	  started again
	* improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
	  frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
	  information so that full authentication does not need to be
	  restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
	  frontend is attached
	* changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
	  make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
	  and to provide access control for the control interface;
	  wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
	  (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
	  ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
	  the control interface;
	  wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
	  in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
	  and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
	  cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
	* added support for LEAP
	* added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
	* added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
	  this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
	  results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)

2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
	* sort scan results to improve AP selection
	* fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
	* improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
	* small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
	  TLS processing
	* PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
	  (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
	  both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
	  automatically)
	* added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
	* added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
	  WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
	  the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
	  from the station)
	* added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
	  EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
	* added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
	* fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
	  does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
	  EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
	* added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
	  (key_mgmt=NONE)

2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
	* added support for new EAP authentication methods:
	  EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
	  EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
	  EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
	  EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
	  EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
	  EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
	  EAP-TTLS/PAP
	  EAP-TTLS/CHAP
	  EAP-PEAP/TLS
	  EAP-PEAP/GTC
	  EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
	  EAP-GTC
	  EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
	* added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
	  sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
	  tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
	* added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
	* added support for requesting identity and password information using
	  control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
	  EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
	  a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
	* improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
	  all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
	* fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
	* ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
	* avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
	* use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
	  with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
	  library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
	  anyway for TLS)
	* fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
	  (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)

2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
	* added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
	  Supplicant
	  - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
	  - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
	  - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
	    [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
	  - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
	  - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
	  - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
	    [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
	    (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
	    default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
	  - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
	    client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
	  - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
	    disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
	    option
	  - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
	    be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
	  - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
	* use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
	* added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
	  (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
	   EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
	* added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
	  - improved PTK Key Handshake
	  - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
	* fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
	  EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
	  TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
	  includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
	* added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
	  wpa_supplicant
	  - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
	    mode
	  - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
	* made some feature compile time configurable
	  - .config file for make
	  - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
	  - EAPOL/EAP functions

2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
	* Initial version of wpa_supplicant
