FT over FILS-SHA384 uses a 24 byte FT MIC rather than the 16 byte MIC
used for all other AKMs. This change allows both the FT builder/parser
to handle both lengths of MIC. The mic length is now passed directly
into ie_parse_fast_bss_transition and ie_build_fast_bss_transition
The TLV builder APIs were not very intuative, and in some (or all)
cases required access to the builder structure directly, either to
set the TLV buffer or to get the buffer at the end.
This change adds a new API, ie_tlv_builder_set_data, which both sets
the length for the current TLV and copies the TLV data in one go.
This will avoid the need for memcpy(ie_tlv_builder_get_data(...),...)
ie_tlv_builder_finalize was also changed to return a pointer to the
start of the build buffer. This will eliminate the need to access
builder.tlv after building the TLVs.
ie_tlv_builder_init was changed to take an optional buffer to hold
the TLV data. Passing NULL/0 will build the TLV in the internal
buffer. Passing in a pointer and length will build into the passed
in buffer.
This adds support for parsing the VHT IE, which allows a BSS supporting
VHT (80211ac) to be ranked higher than a BSS supporting only HT/basic
rates. Now, with basic/HT/VHT parsing we can calculate the theoretical
maximum data rate for all three and rank the BSS based on that.
This adds HT IE parsing and data rate calculation for HT (80211n)
rates. Now, a BSS supporting HT rates will be ranked higher than
a basic rate BSS, assuming the RSSI is at an acceptable level.
The spec dictates RSSI thresholds for different modulation schemes, which
correlate to different data rates. Until now were were ranking a BSS with
only looking at its advertised data rate, which may not even be possible
if the RSSI does not meet the threshold.
Now, RSSI is taken into consideration and the data rate returned from
parsing (Ext) Supported Rates IE(s) will reflect that.
All over the place we do "ie[1] + 2" for getting the IE length. It
is much clearer to use a macro to do this. The macro also checks
for NULL, and returns zero in this case.
To prepare for FT over SAE, several case/if statements needed to include
IE_RSN_AKM_SUITE_FT_OVER_SAE. Also a new macro was introduced to remove
duplicate if statement code checking for both FT_OVER_SAE and SAE AKM's.
Parse the contents of the GTK and IGTK subelements in an FT IE instead
of working with buffers containing the whole subelement. Some more
validation of the subelement contents. Drop support for GTK / IGTK when
building the FTE (unused).
Currently it supports Microsoft vendor specific information element
with version and type value 1 only. Typically it contains WPA security
related information.
