Setter which forces the use of group 19 rather than the group order
that ELL provides. Certain APs have been found to have buggy group
negotiation and only work if group 19 is tried first, and only. When
an AP like this this is found (based on vendor OUI match) SAE will
use group 19 unconditionally, and fail if group 19 does not work.
Other groups could be tried upon failure but per the spec group 19
must be supported so there isn't much use in trying other, optional
groups.
SAE was a bit trickier than OWE/FILS because the initial implementation
for SAE did not include parsing raw authenticate frames (netdev skipped
the header and passed just the authentication data). OWE/FILS did not
do this and parse the entire frame in the RX callbacks. Because of this
it was not as simple as just setting some RX callbacks. In addition,
the TX functions include some of the authentication header/data, but
not all (thanks NL80211), so this will require an overhaul to test-sae
since the unit test passes frames from one SM to another to test the
protocol end-to-end (essentially the header needs to be prepended to
any data coming from the TX functions for the end-to-end tests).
SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals) takes place during
authentication, and followed by EAPoL/4-way handshake. This
module handles the entire SAE commit/confirm exchange. This was
done similar to eapol.
SAE begins when sae_register is called. At this point a commit
message will be created and sent out which kicks off the SAE
authentication procedure.
The commit/confirm exchange is very similar to EAP-PWD, so all
the ecc utility functions could be re-used as-is. A few new ecc
utility functions were added to conform to the 80211 'blinding'
technique for computing the password element.
