  1. ChangeLog for wpa_supplicant
  2. ????-??-?? - v0.6.5
  3. * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
  4. internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
  5. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
  6. * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
  7. (IEEE 802.11w)
  8. 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4
  9. * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
  10. * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST
  11. * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver
  12. * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
  13. * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to
  14. allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque
  15. * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
  16. * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the
  17. internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8
  18. encapsulated RSA key can now be used)
  19. * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal
  20. LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA
  21. calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y)
  22. * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key
  23. handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261]
  24. * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching)
  25. 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
  26. * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were
  27. previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK,
  28. EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the
  29. replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate
  30. 'identity' value, that would now be configured as
  31. 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the
  32. replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to
  33. present random binary data)
  34. * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added,
  35. if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an
  36. external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant
  37. when an interface is added
  38. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
  39. * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for
  40. indicating when new scan results become available
  41. * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be
  42. fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command
  43. can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time)
  44. * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION
  45. attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication
  46. * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic
  47. WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X
  48. * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000
  49. 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
  50. * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file
  51. functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line)
  52. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
  53. lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
  54. * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
  55. this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs
  56. changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
  57. versions
  58. * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
  59. AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
  60. * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
  61. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1")
  62. * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and
  63. association with drivers that take very long time to scan all
  64. channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now
  65. using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports
  66. notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps,
  67. e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in
  68. loop where the driver did not even try to associate
  69. * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce
  70. power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second)
  71. [Bug 237]
  72. * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of
  73. wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged,
  74. non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details;
  75. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y
  76. in .config
  77. * changed scan results data structure to include all information
  78. elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result()
  79. driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results
  80. are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should
  81. start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to
  82. work with new features
  83. * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4
  84. application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows
  85. binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires
  86. QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries
  87. * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs
  88. available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier:
  89. http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip
  90. * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
  91. only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
  92. 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
  93. * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash
  94. (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format
  95. * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to
  96. full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired
  97. PAC-Opaque)
  98. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  99. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
  100. * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake
  101. internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and
  102. WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key)
  103. * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in
  104. .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the
  105. driver to take care of the 4-way handshake
  106. * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using
  107. driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965)
  108. [Bug 232]
  109. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
  110. * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the
  111. (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential
  112. buffer read overflow
  113. * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface
  114. monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to
  115. be lost
  116. * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report
  117. recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243]
  118. 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
  119. * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting
  120. initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks
  121. * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
  122. * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
  123. * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
  124. * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation
  125. * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
  126. * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in
  127. tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer
  128. method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be
  129. different)
  130. * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2
  131. of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST
  132. * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
  133. * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that
  134. generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported
  135. for PAC provisioning)
  136. * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning
  137. * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to
  138. store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string)
  139. * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format
  140. (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string)
  141. * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before
  142. dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190]
  143. * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label
  144. * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and
  145. added support for EAP-FAST
  146. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  147. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
  148. * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be
  149. processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent
  150. * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
  151. (still experimental)
  152. * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory
  153. if TLS library initialization fails
  154. * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
  155. (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes
  156. needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and
  157. IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC)
  158. 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
  159. * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the
  160. needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
  161. setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
  162. .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
  163. have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
  164. (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on
  165. x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some
  166. of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB)
  167. * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
  168. IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
  169. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  170. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
  171. * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
  172. frame protection)
  173. (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
  174. (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
  175. * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for
  176. commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it
  177. immediately without sending a command
  178. * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not
  179. needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not
  180. use PIN)
  181. * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to
  182. be used with cards that do not support file selection based on
  183. partial AID
  184. * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication
  185. server certificate against multiple name components (e.g.,
  186. altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com")
  187. * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only
  188. affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys)
  189. * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not
  190. return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*"
  191. will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the
  192. parameter is not exposed
  193. 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
  194. * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined
  195. (wide-char functions)
  196. * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition
  197. issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP
  198. keys
  199. * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to
  200. avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165]
  201. * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files
  202. (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly)
  203. * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to
  204. return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients
  205. will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0
  206. when determining whether there are pending messages
  207. * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets:
  208. Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default
  209. control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to
  210. localhost was used)
  211. * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets:
  212. - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in
  213. future versions)
  214. - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface
  215. in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
  216. - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the
  217. case when group is not changed
  218. * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in
  219. Windows version
  220. * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address
  221. (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for
  222. EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the
  223. destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is
  224. used even if the source address does not match with it
  225. (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580)
  226. * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in
  227. Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged
  228. addresses from being accepted as local control requests
  229. * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external
  230. ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and
  231. there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this
  232. implementation
  233. * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to
  234. learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this
  235. should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized
  236. correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500
  237. USB) [Bug 113]
  238. * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously,
  239. wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first
  240. network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0')
  241. * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in
  242. registry (ctrl_interface string value in
  243. HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is
  244. required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded
  245. to be enabled)
  246. * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4
  247. * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format
  248. 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
  249. * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143]
  250. * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame
  251. processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11
  252. stack (wireless-dev.git tree)
  253. * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to
  254. configure the maximum EAP fragment size
  255. * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to
  256. avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC
  257. will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant
  258. is terminated
  259. * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation
  260. (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS
  261. library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do
  262. not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete;
  263. basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet
  264. included)
  265. * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  266. direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
  267. * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old
  268. PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as
  269. a raw PSK (hex string)
  270. * added new configuration option for identifying which network block
  271. was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on
  272. WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental
  273. variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is
  274. set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned
  275. automatically for the network and that can be used with
  276. GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands)
  277. * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect
  278. status changes or when associating with a different network
  279. * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list
  280. if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case)
  281. * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due
  282. to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155]
  283. * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
  284. draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
  285. * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for
  286. build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory)
  287. * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events
  288. * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet
  289. at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of
  290. a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid
  291. handle
  292. * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID
  293. * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts:
  294. WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory
  295. * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for
  296. OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new
  297. l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build
  298. wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO
  299. requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows
  300. only one application to open the device
  301. * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g.,
  302. {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap
  303. specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still
  304. allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore
  305. when specifying the interface
  306. * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed
  307. and re-inserted [Bug 159]
  308. * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on
  309. big endian hosts [Bug 146]
  310. 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
  311. * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as
  312. phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2)
  313. * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted
  314. networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom,
  315. refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106]
  316. * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is
  317. formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers
  318. do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode
  319. * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured
  320. in Windows registry
  321. * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into
  322. Windows registry
  323. * added support for controlling network device operational state
  324. (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see
  325. http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client
  326. that can use this information)
  327. * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration
  328. * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode
  329. [Bug 140]
  330. * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request
  331. primitive
  332. * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
  333. this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
  334. * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead
  335. of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by
  336. default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information
  337. on how to use this)
  338. 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
  339. * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card
  340. access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA
  341. * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in
  342. v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types)
  343. * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak
  344. * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when
  345. starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association
  346. a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver)
  347. * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge
  348. interface (-bbr0 on command line)
  349. * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching
  350. * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
  351. instead of a static list generated at build time
  352. * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when
  353. removing PMKSA entries
  354. * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication
  355. * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid
  356. WPA/RSN IE
  357. * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg
  358. if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH
  359. 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
  360. * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
  361. a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
  362. the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
  363. * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
  364. * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
  365. option can be changed if needed
  366. * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
  367. using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
  368. interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
  369. use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
  370. recommended)
  371. * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
  372. to disable TLS library for normal authentication
  373. * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
  374. used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
  375. wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
  376. would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
  377. not likely to happen in real use.
  378. * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
  379. current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
  380. * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
  381. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
  382. ap_scan=2)
  383. 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
  384. * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  385. direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
  386. build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
  387. and stakey=1)
  388. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to
  389. decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly
  390. * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session
  391. * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to
  392. other C libraries and compilers
  393. * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into
  394. wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make
  395. code more portable
  396. * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++
  397. (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual
  398. C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an
  399. example makefile for nmake
  400. * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters
  401. (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data
  402. (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry
  403. contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a
  404. normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant,
  405. 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service,
  406. 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to
  407. unregister a service
  408. * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into
  409. wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED
  410. * added better support for multiple control interface backends
  411. (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported
  412. * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer
  413. and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not
  414. causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll
  415. refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and
  416. EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows
  417. * added new event loop implementation for Windows using
  418. WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting
  419. for non-socket objects; this can be selected with
  420. CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config
  421. * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config
  422. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap,
  423. winpcap, freebsd, none)
  424. * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap
  425. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to
  426. reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about
  427. 3 ms
  428. * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than
  429. RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning
  430. * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a
  431. configuration blob
  432. * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added
  433. support for using PKCS#12 as a blob
  434. * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for
  435. session resumption
  436. * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows
  437. certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is
  438. likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates)
  439. * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this
  440. with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more
  441. easily on cross-compilation builds
  442. * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative
  443. version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using
  444. Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a
  445. Windows service
  446. * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and
  447. wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary
  448. release since it is not needed anymore
  449. * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW
  450. since MinGW does not yet include winscard library
  451. 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
  452. * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap
  453. and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address
  454. * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used
  455. in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages
  456. * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to
  457. avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point
  458. during handshake
  459. * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables
  460. (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept
  461. * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values
  462. for variables as empty network definitions read from config file
  463. would get
  464. * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many
  465. cases (e.g., during TLS handshake)
  466. * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file
  467. cannot be parsed successfully
  468. * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
  469. * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents
  470. * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration
  471. * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID
  472. * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if
  473. the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE
  474. * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with
  475. drivers that may take more than five second to associate
  476. 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
  477. * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in
  478. RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration
  479. * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having
  480. to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates);
  481. variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to
  482. use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert,
  483. private_key
  484. * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA
  485. state machine interface in v0.4.5)
  486. * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make
  487. sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly
  488. * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used
  489. to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the
  490. system-wide trusted CA list
  491. * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration
  492. file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for
  493. this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide
  494. driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a
  495. configuration to override the values from the configuration)
  496. * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding
  497. and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument
  498. for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart
  499. wpa_supplicant process
  500. * wpa_gui:
  501. - try to save configuration whenever something is modified
  502. - added WEP key configuration
  503. - added possibility to edit the current network configuration
  504. * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each
  505. received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout
  506. * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory)
  507. * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to
  508. avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces
  509. * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up
  510. authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting
  511. EAP authentication immediately after association
  512. 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
  513. * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow
  514. roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one
  515. * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to
  516. generate, e.g., man pages
  517. * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for
  518. PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use
  519. Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames)
  520. * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication
  521. for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success
  522. frame
  523. * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link
  524. layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this
  525. header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier
  526. to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than
  527. Ethernet
  528. * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be
  529. tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including
  530. server_nai configuration option from network blocks
  531. * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order
  532. to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include
  533. these multicast addresses by default
  534. * driver_wext: add support for WE-19
  535. * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND
  536. option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used
  537. in wpa_supplicant.conf)
  538. * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config');
  539. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global
  540. update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli
  541. and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store
  542. * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command
  543. (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid')
  544. 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
  545. * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support
  546. (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct
  547. patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the
  548. OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order
  549. to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support)
  550. * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI)
  551. for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS)
  552. (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure
  553. this with private_key)
  554. * ported wpa_gui to Windows
  555. * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be
  556. built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows
  557. * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used
  558. with drivers that do not support WPA
  559. * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support
  560. * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all
  561. configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and
  562. 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>')
  563. * added support for adding and removing network from the current
  564. configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network
  565. <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can
  566. be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done
  567. for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so
  568. these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted
  569. * added support for setting network configuration parameters through
  570. the control interface, for example:
  571. wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\""
  572. * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double
  573. quoted area (e.g., "start"#end")
  574. * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer,
  575. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  576. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  577. (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for
  578. PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be
  579. doing this for PEAPv0, too)
  580. * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the
  581. wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to
  582. open network configuration)
  583. 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
  584. * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g.,
  585. Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required
  586. anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone
  587. * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support
  588. * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux
  589. * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files
  590. (l2_packet_*.c)
  591. 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
  592. * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
  593. (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
  594. this)
  595. * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks;
  596. wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the
  597. driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for
  598. networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored
  599. and the network block order in the file is used instead
  600. * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using
  601. freed memory if pre-authentication times out
  602. * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the
  603. authentication server certificate; new configuration variables
  604. altsubject_match and altsubject_match2
  605. * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired
  606. NDIS drivers
  607. * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the
  608. control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the
  609. configuration file
  610. * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
  611. processing
  612. * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
  613. * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
  614. * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
  615. * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to
  616. entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as
  617. the key in this case
  618. * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the
  619. configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new
  620. driver_ops function set_param()
  621. * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface
  622. API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver
  623. specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames
  624. * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is
  625. entered as a number, not group name
  626. * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
  627. by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
  628. cards
  629. 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
  630. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL
  631. packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed
  632. ioctl order in v0.4.0
  633. * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
  634. branch of madwifi CVS tree
  635. * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP
  636. authentication session
  637. * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the
  638. password has expired)
  639. * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
  640. and adding them to the certificate chain
  641. * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys
  642. were used
  643. * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
  644. identity or password is entered through control interface
  645. * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface
  646. with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix
  647. * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build
  648. automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires
  649. Qt development tools)
  650. * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting
  651. wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before
  652. 'reassociate' command has been used
  653. * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured
  654. networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all
  655. other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any')
  656. * added support for getting scan results through control interface
  657. * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
  658. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  659. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  660. 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
  661. * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be
  662. used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if
  663. debugging code is not needed
  664. * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
  665. Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
  666. overflow
  667. * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired
  668. Ethernet); driver interface 'wired'
  669. * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be
  670. replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit())
  671. (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility,
  672. but they may be removed in the future)
  673. * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
  674. * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
  675. Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
  676. interoperate with some authentication servers
  677. * added support for sending TLS alerts
  678. * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or
  679. is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP
  680. * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g.,
  681. wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration
  682. file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is
  683. delayed until the PIN is available
  684. * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for
  685. private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config);
  686. new wpa_supplicant.conf variables:
  687. - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path
  688. - network: engine, engine_id, key_id
  689. * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
  690. * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that
  691. allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on
  692. wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed
  693. and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments:
  694. -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new
  695. command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a
  696. control interface command is received in order to avoid missing
  697. events
  698. * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by
  699. default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1)
  700. * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
  701. Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
  702. using assoc_info events
  703. * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
  704. process id into a file
  705. 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
  706. * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
  707. wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
  708. even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
  709. authentication servers
  710. * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
  711. using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
  712. ap_scan=2)
  713. * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
  714. identity/password/otp
  715. * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
  716. EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
  717. * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
  718. mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
  719. * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
  720. ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
  721. configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW
  722. 2005-01-24 - v0.3.6
  723. * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
  724. when no matching AP is found
  725. 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
  726. * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
  727. when using WPA2-PSK
  728. * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
  729. WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
  730. retransmission of dropped frames)
  731. * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
  732. (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
  733. * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
  734. RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
  735. pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
  736. requires EAP workarounds
  737. * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
  738. authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
  739. where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
  740. * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
  741. authentication attempt
  742. * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
  743. in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
  744. verified)
  745. 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
  746. * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
  747. (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
  748. WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
  749. key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
  750. example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
  751. only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
  752. in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
  753. supports WPA-None)
  754. * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
  755. mingw
  756. 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
  757. * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
  758. wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
  759. * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
  760. small problems with error case processing not terminating on
  761. EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
  762. * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
  763. Cisco AP when using WPA2
  764. * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
  765. Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
  766. extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
  767. certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
  768. included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.
  769. 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
  770. * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
  771. * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
  772. could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
  773. * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
  774. (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
  775. but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
  776. ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
  777. * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
  778. authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
  779. * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
  780. (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
  781. running)
  782. * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
  783. * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
  784. based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
  785. this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
  786. the interface name
  787. * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
  788. file
  789. * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
  790. when exiting
  791. * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
  792. clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
  793. problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
  794. machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
  795. information
  796. * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
  797. allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
  798. * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
  799. function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
  800. * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
  801. interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
  802. authentication
  803. * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
  804. all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
  805. unicast key)
  806. * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
  807. drivers
  808. * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
  809. dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
  810. 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
  811. * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
  812. PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
  813. * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
  814. * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
  815. association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
  816. e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
  817. drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
  818. ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
  819. file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
  820. policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
  821. group, proto variables
  822. * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
  823. - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
  824. - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
  825. - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
  826. * control interface can now be removed at build time; add
  827. CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
  828. * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
  829. (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
  830. * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
  831. easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
  832. the association
  833. 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
  834. * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
  835. (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
  836. * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
  837. * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
  838. ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
  839. actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
  840. interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
  841. * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
  842. EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
  843. peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
  844. (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
  845. reply
  846. * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
  847. the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
  848. but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
  849. label which is thus more suitable default option
  850. * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
  851. * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
  852. * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
  853. (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
  854. * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
  855. (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
  856. WEP keys)
  857. * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
  858. * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
  859. random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
  860. * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
  861. * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
  862. session resumption)
  863. * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
  864. (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
  865. * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
  866. key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
  867. dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
  868. and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
  869. * added support for matching subject of the authentication server
  870. certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
  871. configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
  872. * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
  873. interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
  874. drivers expect this
  875. * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
  876. connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
  877. * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
  878. * added support for LEAP with WPA
  879. * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
  880. data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
  881. v17 or newer
  882. * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
  883. only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
  884. * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
  885. must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
  886. forever
  887. * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
  888. default; all key information can be included with -K command line
  889. argument to match the previous behavior
  890. * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
  891. default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
  892. * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
  893. if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
  894. with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
  895. bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
  896. * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
  897. key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
  898. handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
  899. of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
  900. association
  901. * changed driver interface API:
  902. - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
  903. version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
  904. not defined)
  905. - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
  906. - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
  907. interfaces has been converted to the new API
  908. * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
  909. wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
  910. command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
  911. (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
  912. * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
  913. sequential EAP packets
  914. * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
  915. CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
  916. * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
  917. verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
  918. reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
  919. Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
  920. configuration
  921. * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
  922. IEs than just one WPA IE
  923. * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
  924. layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
  925. required kernel mods have not yet been committed
  926. * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
  927. disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0
  928. 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
  929. * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
  930. Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
  931. * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
  932. AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
  933. for the broadcast key
  934. * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
  935. re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
  936. WPA
  937. * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
  938. driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
  939. currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
  940. eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
  941. Linux wireless extensions get support for this
  942. * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
  943. scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
  944. enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
  945. this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
  946. use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
  947. supporting wireless extensions.
  948. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
  949. operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
  950. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  951. EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
  952. * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
  953. wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
  954. but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
  955. a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
  956. password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
  957. * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
  958. does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
  959. started again
  960. * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
  961. frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
  962. information so that full authentication does not need to be
  963. restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
  964. frontend is attached
  965. * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
  966. make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
  967. and to provide access control for the control interface;
  968. wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
  969. (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
  970. ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
  971. the control interface;
  972. wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
  973. in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
  974. and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
  975. cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
  976. * added support for LEAP
  977. * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
  978. * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
  979. this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
  980. results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)
  981. 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
  982. * sort scan results to improve AP selection
  983. * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
  984. * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
  985. * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
  986. TLS processing
  987. * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
  988. (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
  989. both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
  990. automatically)
  991. * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
  992. * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
  993. WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
  994. the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
  995. from the station)
  996. * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
  997. EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
  998. * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
  999. * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
  1000. does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
  1001. EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
  1002. * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
  1003. (key_mgmt=NONE)
  1004. 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
  1005. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  1006. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
  1007. EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
  1008. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
  1009. EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
  1010. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
  1011. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
  1012. EAP-TTLS/PAP
  1013. EAP-TTLS/CHAP
  1014. EAP-PEAP/TLS
  1015. EAP-PEAP/GTC
  1016. EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
  1017. EAP-GTC
  1018. EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
  1019. * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
  1020. sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
  1021. tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
  1022. * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
  1023. * added support for requesting identity and password information using
  1024. control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
  1025. EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
  1026. a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
  1027. * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
  1028. all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
  1029. * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
  1030. * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
  1031. * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
  1032. * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
  1033. with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
  1034. library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
  1035. anyway for TLS)
  1036. * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
  1037. (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
  1038. 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
  1039. * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
  1040. Supplicant
  1041. - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
  1042. - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
  1043. - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
  1044. [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
  1045. - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
  1046. - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
  1047. - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
  1048. [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
  1049. (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
  1050. default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
  1051. - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
  1052. client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
  1053. - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
  1054. disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
  1055. option
  1056. - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
  1057. be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
  1058. - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
  1059. * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
  1060. * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
  1061. (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
  1062. EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
  1063. * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
  1064. - improved PTK Key Handshake
  1065. - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
  1066. * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
  1067. EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
  1068. TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
  1069. includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
  1070. * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
  1071. wpa_supplicant
  1072. - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
  1073. mode
  1074. - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
  1075. * made some feature compile time configurable
  1076. - .config file for make
  1077. - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
  1078. - EAPOL/EAP functions
  1079. 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
  1080. * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
