      1 wpa_supplicant and Hotspot 2.0
      2 ==============================
      3 
      4 This document describe how the IEEE 802.11u Interworking and Wi-Fi
      5 Hotspot 2.0 (Release 1) implementation in wpa_supplicant can be
      6 configured and how an external component on the client e.g., management
      7 GUI or Wi-Fi framework) is used to manage this functionality.
      8 
      9 
     10 Introduction to Wi-Fi Hotspot 2.0
     11 ---------------------------------
     12 
     13 Hotspot 2.0 is the name of the Wi-Fi Alliance specification that is used
     14 in the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Passpoint<TM> program. More information about
     15 this is available in this white paper:
     16 
     17 http://www.wi-fi.org/knowledge-center/white-papers/wi-fi-certified-passpoint%E2%84%A2-new-program-wi-fi-alliance%C2%AE-enable-seamless
     18 
     19 The Hotspot 2.0 specification is also available from WFA:
     20 https://www.wi-fi.org/knowledge-center/published-specifications
     21 
     22 The core Interworking functionality (network selection, GAS/ANQP) were
     23 standardized in IEEE Std 802.11u-2011 which is now part of the IEEE Std
     24 802.11-2012.
     25 
     26 
     27 wpa_supplicant network selection
     28 --------------------------------
     29 
     30 Interworking support added option for configuring credentials that can
     31 work with multiple networks as an alternative to configuration of
     32 network blocks (e.g., per-SSID parameters). When requested to perform
     33 network selection, wpa_supplicant picks the highest priority enabled
     34 network block or credential. If a credential is picked (based on ANQP
     35 information from APs), a temporary network block is created
     36 automatically for the matching network. This temporary network block is
     37 used similarly to the network blocks that can be configured by the user,
     38 but it is not stored into the configuration file and is meant to be used
     39 only for temporary period of time since a new one can be created
     40 whenever needed based on ANQP information and the credential.
     41 
     42 By default, wpa_supplicant is not using automatic network selection
     43 unless requested explicitly with the interworking_select command. This
     44 can be changed with the auto_interworking=1 parameter to perform network
     45 selection automatically whenever trying to find a network for connection
     46 and none of the enabled network blocks match with the scan results. This
     47 case works similarly to "interworking_select auto", i.e., wpa_supplicant
     48 will internally determine which network or credential is going to be
     49 used based on configured priorities, scan results, and ANQP information.
     50 
     51 
     52 wpa_supplicant configuration
     53 ----------------------------
     54 
     55 Interworking and Hotspot 2.0 functionality are optional components that
     56 need to be enabled in the wpa_supplicant build configuration
     57 (.config). This is done by adding following parameters into that file:
     58 
     59 CONFIG_INTERWORKING=y
     60 CONFIG_HS20=y
     61 
     62 It should be noted that this functionality requires a driver that
     63 supports GAS/ANQP operations. This uses the same design as P2P, i.e.,
     64 Action frame processing and building in user space within
     65 wpa_supplicant. The Linux nl80211 driver interface provides the needed
     66 functionality for this.
     67 
     68 
     69 There are number of run-time configuration parameters (e.g., in
     70 wpa_supplicant.conf when using the configuration file) that can be used
     71 to control Hotspot 2.0 operations.
     72 
     73 # Enable Interworking
     74 interworking=1
     75 
     76 # Enable Hotspot 2.0
     77 hs20=1
     78 
     79 # Parameters for controlling scanning
     80 
     81 # Homogenous ESS identifier
     82 # If this is set, scans will be used to request response only from BSSes
     83 # belonging to the specified Homogeneous ESS. This is used only if interworking
     84 # is enabled.
     85 #hessid=00:11:22:33:44:55
     86 
     87 # Access Network Type
     88 # When Interworking is enabled, scans can be limited to APs that advertise the
     89 # specified Access Network Type (0..15; with 15 indicating wildcard match).
     90 # This value controls the Access Network Type value in Probe Request frames.
     91 #access_network_type=15
     92 
     93 # Automatic network selection behavior
     94 # 0 = do not automatically go through Interworking network selection
     95 #     (i.e., require explicit interworking_select command for this; default)
     96 # 1 = perform Interworking network selection if one or more
     97 #     credentials have been configured and scan did not find a
     98 #     matching network block
     99 #auto_interworking=0
    100 
    101 
    102 Credentials can be pre-configured for automatic network selection:
    103 
    104 # credential block
    105 #
    106 # Each credential used for automatic network selection is configured as a set
    107 # of parameters that are compared to the information advertised by the APs when
    108 # interworking_select and interworking_connect commands are used.
    109 #
    110 # credential fields:
    111 #
    112 # priority: Priority group
    113 #	By default, all networks and credentials get the same priority group
    114 #	(0). This field can be used to give higher priority for credentials
    115 #	(and similarly in struct wpa_ssid for network blocks) to change the
    116 #	Interworking automatic networking selection behavior. The matching
    117 #	network (based on either an enabled network block or a credential)
    118 #	with the highest priority value will be selected.
    119 #
    120 # pcsc: Use PC/SC and SIM/USIM card
    121 #
    122 # realm: Home Realm for Interworking
    123 #
    124 # username: Username for Interworking network selection
    125 #
    126 # password: Password for Interworking network selection
    127 #
    128 # ca_cert: CA certificate for Interworking network selection
    129 #
    130 # client_cert: File path to client certificate file (PEM/DER)
    131 #	This field is used with Interworking networking selection for a case
    132 #	where client certificate/private key is used for authentication
    133 #	(EAP-TLS). Full path to the file should be used since working
    134 #	directory may change when wpa_supplicant is run in the background.
    135 #
    136 #	Alternatively, a named configuration blob can be used by setting
    137 #	this to blob://blob_name.
    138 #
    139 # private_key: File path to client private key file (PEM/DER/PFX)
    140 #	When PKCS#12/PFX file (.p12/.pfx) is used, client_cert should be
    141 #	commented out. Both the private key and certificate will be read
    142 #	from the PKCS#12 file in this case. Full path to the file should be
    143 #	used since working directory may change when wpa_supplicant is run
    144 #	in the background.
    145 #
    146 #	Windows certificate store can be used by leaving client_cert out and
    147 #	configuring private_key in one of the following formats:
    148 #
    149 #	cert://substring_to_match
    150 #
    151 #	hash://certificate_thumbprint_in_hex
    152 #
    153 #	For example: private_key="hash://63093aa9c47f56ae88334c7b65a4"
    154 #
    155 #	Note that when running wpa_supplicant as an application, the user
    156 #	certificate store (My user account) is used, whereas computer store
    157 #	(Computer account) is used when running wpasvc as a service.
    158 #
    159 #	Alternatively, a named configuration blob can be used by setting
    160 #	this to blob://blob_name.
    161 #
    162 # private_key_passwd: Password for private key file
    163 #
    164 # imsi: IMSI in <MCC> | <MNC> | '-' | <MSIN> format
    165 #
    166 # milenage: Milenage parameters for SIM/USIM simulator in <Ki>:<OPc>:<SQN>
    167 #	format
    168 #
    169 # domain: Home service provider FQDN
    170 #	This is used to compare against the Domain Name List to figure out
    171 #	whether the AP is operated by the Home SP.
    172 #
    173 # roaming_consortium: Roaming Consortium OI
    174 #	If roaming_consortium_len is non-zero, this field contains the
    175 #	Roaming Consortium OI that can be used to determine which access
    176 #	points support authentication with this credential. This is an
    177 #	alternative to the use of the realm parameter. When using Roaming
    178 #	Consortium to match the network, the EAP parameters need to be
    179 #	pre-configured with the credential since the NAI Realm information
    180 #	may not be available or fetched.
    181 #
    182 # eap: Pre-configured EAP method
    183 #	This optional field can be used to specify which EAP method will be
    184 #	used with this credential. If not set, the EAP method is selected
    185 #	automatically based on ANQP information (e.g., NAI Realm).
    186 #
    187 # phase1: Pre-configure Phase 1 (outer authentication) parameters
    188 #	This optional field is used with like the 'eap' parameter.
    189 #
    190 # phase2: Pre-configure Phase 2 (inner authentication) parameters
    191 #	This optional field is used with like the 'eap' parameter.
    192 #
    193 # excluded_ssid: Excluded SSID
    194 #	This optional field can be used to excluded specific SSID(s) from
    195 #	matching with the network. Multiple entries can be used to specify more
    196 #	than one SSID.
    197 #
    198 # for example:
    199 #
    200 #cred={
    201 #	realm="example.com"
    202 #	username="user (a] example.com"
    203 #	password="password"
    204 #	ca_cert="/etc/wpa_supplicant/ca.pem"
    205 #	domain="example.com"
    206 #}
    207 #
    208 #cred={

    224 
    225 Control interface
    226 -----------------
    227 
    228 wpa_supplicant provides a control interface that can be used from
    229 external programs to manage various operations. The included command
    230 line tool, wpa_cli, can be used for manual testing with this interface.
    231 
    232 Following wpa_cli interactive mode commands show some examples of manual
    233 operations related to Hotspot 2.0:
    234 
    235 Remove configured networks and credentials:
    236 
    237 > remove_network all
    238 OK
    239 > remove_cred all
    240 OK
    241 
    242 
    243 Add a username/password credential:
    244 
    245 > add_cred
    246 0
    247 > set_cred 0 realm "mail.example.com"
    248 OK
    249 > set_cred 0 username "username"
    250 OK
    251 > set_cred 0 password "password"
    252 OK
    253 > set_cred 0 priority 1
    254 OK
    255 
    256 Add a SIM credential using a simulated SIM/USIM card for testing:
    257 
    258 > add_cred
    259 1
    260 > set_cred 1 imsi "23456-0000000000"
    261 OK
    262 > set_cred 1 milenage "90dca4eda45b53cf0f12d7c9c3bc6a89:cb9cccc4b9258e6dca4760379fb82581:000000000123"
    263 OK
    264 > set_cred 1 priority 1
    265 OK
    266 
    267 Note: the return value of add_cred is used as the first argument to
    268 the following set_cred commands.
    269 
    270 
    271 Add a WPA2-Enterprise network:
    272 
    273 > add_network
    274 0
    275 > set_network 0 key_mgmt WPA-EAP
    276 OK
    277 > set_network 0 ssid "enterprise"
    278 OK
    279 > set_network 0 eap TTLS
    280 OK
    281 > set_network 0 anonymous_identity "anonymous"
    282 OK
    283 > set_network 0 identity "user"
    284 OK
    285 > set_network 0 password "password"
    286 OK
    287 > set_network 0 priority 0
    288 OK
    289 > enable_network 0 no-connect
    290 OK
    291 
    292 
    293 Add an open network:
    294 
    295 > add_network
    296 3
    297 > set_network 3 key_mgmt NONE
    298 OK
    299 > set_network 3 ssid "coffee-shop"
    300 OK
    301 > select_network 3
    302 OK
    303 
    304 Note: the return value of add_network is used as the first argument to
    305 the following set_network commands.
    306 
    307 The preferred credentials/networks can be indicated with the priority
    308 parameter (1 is higher priority than 0).
    309 
    310 
    311 Interworking network selection can be started with interworking_select
    312 command. This instructs wpa_supplicant to run a network scan and iterate
    313 through the discovered APs to request ANQP information from the APs that
    314 advertise support for Interworking/Hotspot 2.0:
    315 
    316 > interworking_select
    317 OK
    318 <3>Starting ANQP fetch for 02:00:00:00:01:00

    324 
    325 
    326 INTERWORKING-AP event messages indicate the APs that support network
    327 selection and for which there is a matching
    328 credential. interworking_connect command can be used to select a network
    329 to connect with:
    330 
    331 
    332 > interworking_connect 02:00:00:00:01:00

    344 
    345 
    346 wpa_supplicant creates a temporary network block for the selected
    347 network based on the configured credential and ANQP information from the
    348 AP:
    349 
    350 > list_networks
    351 network id / ssid / bssid / flags
    352 0	Example Network	any	[CURRENT]
    353 > get_network 0 key_mgmt
    354 WPA-EAP
    355 > get_network 0 eap
    356 TTLS
    357 
    358 
    359 Alternatively to using an external program to select the network,
    360 "interworking_select auto" command can be used to request wpa_supplicant
    361 to select which network to use based on configured priorities:
    362 
    363 
    364 > remove_network all
    365 OK

    422 Note: The Hotspot 2.0 indication is shown as "hs20=1" in the status
    423 command output. Link layer security is indicated with the
    424 pairwise_cipher (CCMP = secure, NONE = no encryption used).
    425 
    426 
    427 Also the scan results include the Hotspot 2.0 indication:
