From dfc38d03261322dc9781cad5b4b66affb7682cb4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alain Lamar Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2020 22:52:55 +0200 Subject: wireless: T2306: Add new cipher suites to the WiFi configuration Yet, VyOS knows these two encryption schemes for WiFi: 1. CCMP = AES in Counter mode with CBC-MAC (CCMP-128) 2. TKIP = Temporal Key Integrity Protocol These encryption schemes are new and especially the Galois counter mode cipher suites are very desirable! 1. CCMP-256 = AES in Counter mode with CBC-MAC with 256-bit key 2. GCMP = Galois/counter mode protocol (GCMP-128) 3. GCMP-256 = Galois/counter mode protocol with 256-bit key CCMP is supported by all WPA2 compatible NICs, so this remains the default cipher for bidirectional and group packets while using WPA2. Use 'iw list' to figure out which cipher suites your cards support prior to configuring other cipher suites than CCMP. AP NICs and STA NICs must both support at least one common cipher in a given list in order to associate successfully. --- data/templates/wifi/hostapd.conf.tmpl | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) (limited to 'data/templates') diff --git a/data/templates/wifi/hostapd.conf.tmpl b/data/templates/wifi/hostapd.conf.tmpl index e2fb9ca8f..d6068e4db 100644 --- a/data/templates/wifi/hostapd.conf.tmpl +++ b/data/templates/wifi/hostapd.conf.tmpl @@ -572,6 +572,16 @@ wpa_pairwise={{ sec_wpa_cipher | join(" ") }} {%- endif -%} {% endif %} +{% if sec_wpa_group_cipher -%} +# Optional override for automatic group cipher selection +# This can be used to select a specific group cipher regardless of which +# pairwise ciphers were enabled for WPA and RSN.
