DPP-WPA3-QR - Hostapd enrolle - Supplicant configurator

DPP-WPA3-QR-CODE (AP as Enrollee and STA as Configurator) frame exchange

Wi-Fi Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP) is a replacement of the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). With DPP, devices can be authenticated to join a network without a password through various means, including QR codes or NFC tags. this is not simply a mechanism for communicating the password but rather it is a way for devices to perform mutual authentication without a password.

The following is a resprestaion of DPP-WPA3-QR-CODE (AP as Enrollee and STA as Configurator) handshake

wpa_supplicant compilation

The daemon process that runs in the client stations. It implements WPA key negotiation with a WPA Authenticator and EAP authentication with Authentication Server. In addition, it controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11 authentication/association of the wireless LAN driver. Following are the steps to download and compiling wpa_supplicant from source code

  1. Download latest wpa_supplicant
    $ wget https://w1.fi/releases/wpa_supplicant-2.9.tar.gz
  2. Install required packages
    $ sudo apt install libnl-genl-3-dev libnl-3-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev
    below messages indicate that packages are installed successfully
    The following NEW packages will be installed:

hostapd compilation

The hostapd is a user space daemon for access point and authentication servers. It implements IEEE 802.11 access point management, IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP Authenticators, RADIUS client, EAP server, and RADIUS authentication server. Following are the steps to download and compiling hostapd from source code

  1. Download latest hostapd
    $ wget http://w1.fi/releases/hostapd-2.9.tar.gz

Running hostapd

  1. Check if wifi interface with the name “wlan0” is available. This is created on boot up of the ubuntu machine or by installing wifi driver manually

  2. Create a hostapd.conf file in /etc/hostapd/ folder with below content
    $ sudo vim /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

    Copy below content

    interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ssid=test
channel=6
wpa=2
wpa_key_mgmt=SAE DPP
ieee80211w=1
wpa_passphrase=passwordpasswordpassword
wpa_pairwise=CCMP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
  3. Go to hostapd directory
    $ cd hostapd-2.9/hostapd
  4. Run hostapd by issuing follwing command
    $ sudo ./hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

    Below log messages are seen on console after running hostapd

    Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr 02:00:00:00:00:00 and ssid "test"
wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->ENABLED
wlan0: AP-ENABLED

  5. Mode of “wlan0” interface is now assigned as “AP/Master”. Check this by querying information via iwconfig/iw command

    $ iwconfig 
wlan0     IEEE 802.11  Mode:Master  Tx-Power=20 dBm   
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:on

$ iw dev

		addr 02:00:00:00:00:00
		ssid test
		type AP
		channel 6 (2437 MHz), width: 20 MHz (no HT), center1: 2437 MHz
		txpower 20.00 dBm

Running wpa_supplicant

  1. Check if wifi interface with the name “wlan1” is available. This is created on boot up of the ubuntu machine or by installing wifi driver manually
    $ iwconfig 
wlan1     IEEE 802.11  ESSID:off/any  
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=20 dBm   
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:on

$ iw dev

	Interface wlan1
		ifindex 6
		wdev 0x200000001
		addr 02:00:00:00:01:00
		type managed
		txpower 20.00 dBm
  2. Go to wpa_supplicant directory
    $ cd wpa_supplicant-2.9/wpa_supplicant

  3. Create wpa_supplicant.conf file with following network block contents

    delete all existing content and copy below content

    ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant
update_config=1
ctrl_interface_group=0
pmf=2
dpp_config_processing=2
  4. Run wpa_supplicant
    $ sudo ./wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -i wlan1 -c wpa_supplicant.conf

Syntax : Sequence of commands

Steps

AP (hostapd_cli)

Station (wpa_cli)

Step 1

 
> dpp_configurator_add

> returns <CONFIGURATOR_ID>

* Note : Use the returned <CONFIGURATOR_ID> in step2

Step 2

 
> dpp_configurator_get_key <CONFIGURATOR_ID>

> returns <KEY>

* Note : Use the returned <KEY> in step3

Step 3

 
Generate QR code for the device

> dpp_bootstrap_gen type=qrcode \
  mac=<MAC_OF_ENROLLEE> \
  chan=<operating-class/channel of Configurator> \
  key=<KEY>

> returns <BOOT_STRAPPING_INFO_ID>


* Note :
	1. <KEY> is derived from step2
	2. Use returned <BOOT_STRAPPING_INFO_ID> in step4
	3. <MAC_OF_ENROLEE> is derived using ifconfig command on enrollee

Step 4

 
Get URI for the QR Code

> dpp_bootstrap_get_uri <BOOT_STRAPPING_INFO_ID>

> returns <URI_OF_QR_CODE>

* Note :
	1. <BOOT_STRAPPING_INFO_ID> is derived from step3
	2. Use returned <URI_OF_QR_CODE> in step6

Step 5

 
> dpp_listen <frequency>

Step 6

 
Enter URI of QR code

> dpp_qr_code <URI_OF_QR_CODE>

> returns <QR_CODE_ID>

* Note :
	1. <URI_OF_QR_CODE> is derived from step4
	2. Use returned <QR_CODE_ID> in step 7

Step 7

 
> dpp_auth_init peer=<QR_CODE_ID> \
  conf=ap-dpp configurator=<CONFIGURATOR_ID> \
  ssid=<ssid in hex>

* Note :
	1. <QR_CODE_ID> is derived from step6
	2. <CONFIGURATOR_ID> is derived from step1

Step 8

 
> dpp_configurator_sign conf=sta-dpp \
  configurator=<CONFIGURATOR_ID> \
  ssid=<ssid in hex>

* Note :
	1. <CONFIGURATOR_ID> is derived from step1

Step 9

 
Set DPP values on AP 

> set dpp_connector <DPP-CONNECTOR value> 
> set dpp_csign <DPP-C-SIGN-KEY value> 
> set dpp_netaccesskey <DPP-NET-ACCESS-KEY value>

Step 10

 
> save_config

Step 11

 
> list_networks

> returns <SSID> and <NETWORK_ID>

* Note : Use returned <NETWORK_ID> in step 12

Step 12

 
> enable_network <NETWORK_ID>

* Note : <NETWORK_ID> is derived from step11
