A WINDOWS RALLY SPECIFICATION

Windows Connect NowNET

Abstract Microsoft Windows Connect Now technology enables simple and secure configuration of wireless networks and provisioning of wireless hardware. Windows Connect Now-NET (WCN-NET) is the Microsoft implementation of the Simple Configuration Protocol, a new standard in the Wi-Fi Alliance. WCN-NET supports configuration of devices on out-of-band Ethernet and in-band wireless networks. Windows Connect Now-NET in Microsoft Windows Vista communicates with access points and wireless stations by using Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), authenticates with them by using a personal identification number (PIN), and provides wireless settings that are based on user selection. This specification defines the WCN-NET implementation details for devices that connect with systems running the Windows Vista operating system. WCN-NET is a component of the Microsoft Windows Rally set of technologies.

Introduction to WCN-NET
Microsoft Windows Connect Now technology provides solutions for creating secure wireless networks and adding devices to the network. Specifically, Windows Connect Now-NET (WCN-NET) solves two problems that have limited consumer deployment of secure wireless networks: Most users do not realize that the default network configuration is not secure. Many of the remaining users find that the security configuration is too complex. WCN-NET solves these problems by providing a user-friendly, simplified, and consistent way to set up secure wireless networks and add devices to the network. This solution works for both out-of-band Ethernet devices and in-band wireless devices This specification summarizes the architecture and then covers registration in detail: User interface flow Registration Protocol Message format Registration message attributes

Transportation of Registration Protocol messages by using universal Plug and Play (UPnP) or Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Appendix A explains the master table definitions. References and resources discussed in this specification are listed in Resources at the end of this specification.

WCN-NET Architecture
Figure 1 shows the logical components of the WCN-NET architecture.

Figure 1. WCN-NET Components

The enrollee is a new device that does not have the settings for the wireless network. The registrar provides wireless settings to the enrollee. The access point provides normal wireless network hosting and also proxies messages between the enrollee and the registrar. In Windows Vista, a new enrollee may exchange messages directly with the Windows Vista registrar (interface E) via UPnP if the enrollee is initially connected to an Ethernet network. Alternatively, a new enrollee may exchange messages over EAP with the Windows Vista Registrar and the access point works as a proxy to convey the messages to UPnP. The message exchange between the registrar and the enrollee to authenticate and provide the enrollee with network settings is called the Registration Protocol.

Registration in Windows Vista


The registrar in Windows Vista is initiated via one of two methods: Opening Network Explorer. From the Network Center, clicking Set up a connection or network and then clicking Set up a wireless router or access point. When the Windows Vista registrar process starts, it discovers all UPnP devices on the network and subscribes to UPnP events from any access points. It waits for UPnP events from access points and lists WCN-NET devices as it finds them. In Windows Vista, Network Explorer presents a list of discovered devices, including WCN-NET-based devices that the user can select to configure. Clicking Add a wireless device in Network Explorer lists only unconfigured wireless devices. Alternatively, if the user chooses to use the Network Center to create a new network by using Set up a connection or network: Windows displays a list of devices that are visible on the network. The user can select one of these devices to configure. Then the user is prompted to enter the devices PIN, which is used when authenticating between the Windows Vista registrar and the device. The user can then either select an existing network profile that contains a service set identifier (SSID) and passphrase or create new network settings if a profile does not already exist for the settings to be provided to the device.

After the PIN and the network settings have been collected from the user, the Registration Protocol then runs between the Windows Vista registrar and the device. The PIN is used for two-way authentication, and the selected and defined profile is provided to the device. Upon successful completion of the Registration Protocol, the Windows Vista registrar displays a message to show that the device was successfully configured for the network. The specifics of the WCN-NET protocol, including registration, are detailed in this specification.

Registration Protocol
The Registration Protocol provides: Two-way discovery Exchange of Diffie-Hellman public keys Lock-step message exchange Two-way authentication Transfer of configuration

Figure 2 describes the Registration Protocol message exchange.

Key Derivation
Upon receipt of M1, the registrar has enough information to determine whether to use the in-band or out-of-band method for enrollment. The Registration Protocol message exchange applies the following rules for deriving security keys: If M2 is sent over a physically secure out-of-band channel, then ConfigData can be sent in M2 and the Registration Protocol can terminate at that point. Depending upon the physical security of the out-of-band channel and the registrars policy, the registrar can choose whether to encrypt ConfigData that is sent in an out-of-band M2. Encrypting this data provides an additional measure of security. 1536-bit MODP Group for Diffie-Hellman Exchange The 1536 bit MODP group that WCN-NET uses is taken from RFC 3526. The prime is: 2^1536 - 2^1472 - 1 + 2^64 * { [2^1406 pi] + 741804 } Its hexadecimal value is as follows:

The generator is: 2. Derivation of KDK


KDK = HMAC-SHA-256DHKey (N1 || EnrolleeMAC || N2)

DHKey is defined as SHA-256(gABmod p). PKE is gAmod p and PKR is gBmod p. The enrollee and registrar know the secret values A and B, respectively. EnrolleeMAC is the 6-byte 802.11 MAC address of the enrollee. The enrollees MAC address is included in the description data that is sent in M1.

Derivation of AuthKey, KeyWrapKey, and EMSK


Additional keys are derived from KDK by using a key derivation function (kdf). The function prf that is used in kdf is the keyed hash HMAC-SHA-256.
kdf(key, personalization_string, total_key_bits) : result := iterations = (total_key_bits + prf_digest_size 1)/prf_digest_size for i = 1 to iterations do result := result || prf(key, i || personalization_string || total_key_bits) return 1st total_key_bits of result and destroy any bits left over

Given KDK and this key derivation function, the Registration Protocol session keys are derived as follows:
AuthKey || KeyWrapKey || EMSK = kdf(KDK, Wi-Fi Easy and Secure Key Derivation, 640)

AuthKey (256 bits) A key that is used to authenticate the Registration Protocol messages. KeyWrapKey (128 bits) A key that is used to encrypt secret nonces and ConfigData. EMSK (256 bits) An extended master session key that may be used to derive application-specific keys. This notation means that 640 bits are generated by the kdf function by using the seed value KDK. These 640 bits are split into three parts that correspond to the two symmetric session keys AuthKey and KeyWrapKey and the EMSK.keying material. Key Wrap Algorithm The following algorithm is used to perform the key wrap function that is used to protect the secret nonces and the ConfigData: 1. First compute KWA = 1st 64 bits of HMACAuthKey(DataToEncrypt) 2. Generate random 128-bit IV. 3. Compute WrappedData = AES-Encrypt-CBCKeyWrapKey(DataToEncrypt || KWA, IV). 4. IV is included along with WrappedData in the Encrypted Settings attribute. To decrypt, use the following algorithm: 1. Data || KWA = AES-Decrypt-CBCKeyWrapKey(WrappedData, IV) 2. If KWA = 1st 64 bits of HMACAuthKey(Data), then output Data or else output failure. Note that the IV must be random, and it must not be copied from any keying material that is used for other purposes. A freshly-generated random nonce must be used. KWA is the Key Wrap Authenticator attribute.

PIN Proof of Possession E-Hash1 is derived from the session parameters and the device password. First, the device password is converted to two 128-bit PSK values as follows: PSK1 = first 128 bits of HMACAuthKey(1st half of DevicePassword) PSK2 = first 128 bits of HMACAuthKey(2nd half of DevicePassword) The enrollee creates two 128-bit secret nonces (E-S1 and E-S2) and then computes: E-Hash1 = HMACAuthKey(E-S1 || PSK1 || PKE || PKR) E-Hash2 = HMACAuthKey(E-S2 || PSK2 || PKE || PKR) The registrar creates two 128-bit secret nonces (R-S1 and R-S2) and then computes: R-Hash1 = HMACAuthKey(R-S1 || PSK1 || PKE || PKR) R-Hash2 = HMACAuthKey(R-S2 || PSK2 || PKE || PKR) The hash values are gradually exchanged and verified in messages M3 through M7. If a verification check of one of the Device Password parts fails, the receiving side must acknowledge the message with a failure indication and the enrollee and registrar must stop the protocol and discard all keys and nonces that are associated with the session. PIN Checksum Windows Vista supports both 4- and 8-digit PINs. Only devices with displays can use the 4-digit PIN. Although the WCN-NET specification supports rekeying, Windows Vista does not. The device password ID must be default, value = 0 (the device password is a PIN). For 8-digit numeric PINs, the last digit in the PIN is used as a checksum of the other digits. The algorithm to validate the checksum is given in the following C code.
bool ValidateChecksum(unsigned long int PIN) { unsigned long int accum = 0; accum += 3 * ((PIN / 10000000) % 10); accum += 1 * ((PIN / 1000000) % 10); accum += 3 * ((PIN / 100000) % 10); accum += 1 * ((PIN / 10000) % 10); accum += 3 * ((PIN / 1000) % 10); accum += 1 * ((PIN / 100) % 10); accum += 3 * ((PIN / 10) % 10); accum += 1 * ((PIN / 1) % 10); return (0 == (accum % 10)); }

The corresponding algorithm to compute the checksum digit, assuming the other seven random PIN digits, is as follows:
int ComputeChecksum(unsigned long int PIN) { unsigned long int accum = 0; accum += 1 * ((PIN / 1000000) % 10); accum += 3 * ((PIN / 100000) % 10); accum += 1 * ((PIN / 10000) % 10); accum += 3 * ((PIN / 1000) % 10); accum += 1 * ((PIN / 100) % 10); accum += 3 * ((PIN / 10) % 10); int digit = (accum % 10); return (10 - digit) % 10; }

Message Format
WCN-NET specifies a message exchange protocolRegistration Protocol between an enrollee and a registrar and several transports over which it can operate. The Registration Protocol is a concatenation of binary format attributes, in which each attribute uses a Type, Length, and Value structure as shown in Table 2. Table 2. Type, Length, Value (TLV) Format for WCN-NET Binary Data
Byte offset 0 2 4 Field length (in bytes) 2 2 0-0xFFFF Field name AttributeType DataLength Data Description Type identifier for the attribute Length in bytes of the attributes data field Attribute data

For a list of the attributes and associated definitions used in Windows Vista, see Appendix A. Windows Vista provides a UPnP-based registrar function. It may be used for configuring access points and devices directly over UPnP as specified in the WFADevice and the WFAWLANConfig service specifications and also for configuring devices via a UPnP proxy function, typically implemented in an access point.

Registration Message Attributes


The following tables list the attributes for registration message exchange that Windows Vista uses. Devices may use additional messages (such as Beacon and Probe Response) for exchange over the wireless network, but Windows Vista does not provide or consume these messages. Message exchange is done as defined in the UPnP WFADevice specification. Table 3. Probe Request

Transportation of Registration Protocol Messages


UPnP Transport
Access points that implement the Wi-Fi Simple Configuration Protocol operate as an enrollee by using UPnP when interacting with Windows Vista. The WFADevice and WFAWLANConfig service documents specify UPnP behavior for Ethernetconnected enrollees. Wi-Fi Simple Configurationcapable enrollees can exchange Registration Protocol messages with Windows Vista either directly over UPnP or via a proxy function in a Wi-Fi Simple Configurationcapable access point. The WFADevice and WFAWLANConfig service documents specify UPnP behavior for Ethernetconnected enrollees. Note that when connected to Ethernet and advertising the

Wi-Fi Simple Configurationcapable UPnP device and service, enrollees must turn off wireless-based discovery. A device must not simultaneously advertise itself over UPnP and 802.11. If an enrollee is using its Wi-Fi interface for running the Registration Protocol, it should continuously scan all available wireless networks with Probe request messages.

EAP Transport of Registration Protocol


WCN-NET uses 802.1X and EAP to transport in-band Registration Protocol messages. This protocol is mapped onto a custom EAP method that is described later in this specification. WCN-NET does not require the access point to support RADIUS, and the network is not required to include an authentication server. In fact, many WCN-NETcapable access points may support 802.1X only to configure WPA-Personal Credentials via WCN-NET. Enrollees that use WCN-NET are not granted direct access to the WLAN through the WCN-NET custom EAP method. The EAP method is used to configure the enrollee with a credential that can be used subsequently with whatever access method that WLAN supports. For example, if the access point supports only WPA-Personal with a network-wide shared PSK, then the enrollee would run the WCN-NET EAP method to obtain the PSK, disassociate, and then reconnect and use WPA-Personal to access the WLAN. Alternatively, if the access point supports 802.1X authentication, the enrollee may first run the WCN-NET EAP method to obtain a shared secret credential and then reconnect by using that secret in conjunction with another EAP method to access the WLAN. The WCN-NET EAP method can be used for discovering a registrar or enrollee or for establishing a credential. The first time that the enrollee encounters a new WLAN, it sends out its discovery information and executes the EAP method with each access point it finds that supports WCN-NET. In both the discovery message and in M1, the enrollee provides information about itself to the WLAN. The M2 and M2D messages sent to the enrollee likewise provide information about the available registrars. When the enrollee first discovers and attempts to connect to the WLAN, the WLANs registrars may not yet know the enrollees device password. Therefore, registrars without the device password respond with M2D messages. Although these M2D messages are unauthenticated, they can help enrollees with rich user interfaces to guide the user through the enrollment process and can also help a headless enrollee select a particular registrar that may support optional or vendor-extended functions. As the enrollee scans the M2D messages that registrars in the network sent, it may discover that none of them possesses its device password. Therefore, the enrollee can prompt the user to perform a trust bootstrapping operation such as connecting an available out-of-band channel or entering a device password into one of the available registrars. If the user decides to enter the enrollees device password into the registrar, the enrollee discovers this the next time it connects and reruns the EAP method. It can then perform the complete Registration Protocol. If the enrollee has no user interface to lead the user through the enrollment, it is likely that one or more of the WLANs registrars can do this. Both the registrar and the enrollee are given sufficient information about each other's capabilities through the EAP method to successfully lead the user through the enrollment. If the user decides to use an out-of-band channel for registration, then M2 is implicitly authenticated by the channel and can carry the network configuration data. An enrollee with a limited user interface should continue to scan the available WLANs

for a registrar that returns M2 or sees a selected registrar flag in an access points Beacon.

EAP Message Framing


The access point functions as the EAP authenticator on the WLAN. Thus, the access point generates EAP request messages, and enrollees and registrars generate EAP responses. If the registrar is external to the access point, then it uses UPnP (rather than RADIUS) to exchange Registration Protocol messages with the access point. A registrar may also function in the role of an 802.1X authenticator in ad-hoc mode. This latter mode is useful for networks with legacy access points. The following section contains a brief summary of the WCN-NET EAP method. Figure 3 shows the EAP packet format for request and response messages. For a more complete discussion of these fields and EAP, refer to RFC 3748.

The Code field is set to 1 for EAP-Request messages and to 2 for EAP-Response messages. The Identifier field is used to correlate request and response messages. The Length field gives the overall length of the EAP packet. The Type field indicates the EAP method type. For WCN-NET, it is set to 254 (expanded type). The Vendor-Id is the WFA SMI code 0x00372A, and the Vendor-Type is 0x0000 0001 (SimpleConfig). The Op-Code field is one of the following values: 0x01 : WCN-NET_Start 0x02 : WCN-NET_ACK 0x03 : WCN-NET_NACK 0x04 : WCN-NET_MSG 0x05 : WCN-NET_Done 0x06: WCN-NET_FRAG_ACK The sequence of the messages that correspond to these Op-Code values is defined by the appropriate state machine that is associated with the scenario (adding an enrollee or adding an external registrar).

EAP Message Fragmentation and Reassembly


The Flags field is a bit-wise OR of flags. 0x01 : More fragments (MF) 0x02 : Length field (LF) 0x04 0x80 : reserved If the MF flag is set, the original packet-required fragmentation and additional fragments still must be transmitted. The MF flag is not set if no additional packet fragments are expected. After receiving each packet with MF set, the receiving party responds with a WCN-NET_FRAG_ACK message. To reassemble the original packet, the receiving party concatenates the MessageData parts of each fragment. If the LF flag is set, the Message Length field is included in the header to indicate the number of bytes of the entire message data being conveyed. If the LF flag is not set, then the Message Length field is omitted. The LF flag and Message Length field are included in the first EAP packet only for a fragmented EAP message. The LF flag must not be set for later fragments. EAP fragmentation is specific to the EAP connection. If a message is fragmented for transmission over EAP, the supplicant and authenticator must handle fragmentation and reassembly of the frame. The proxy function that is required in access points must provide a completely assembled message to the UPnP interface.

EAP Identity
If the supplicant intends to add itself as an external registrar, it must use the EAP Identity WFA-SimpleConfig-Registrar-1-0. If it intends to acquire WLAN credentials as an enrollee, it must use the EAP Identity WFA-SimpleConfigEnrollee-1-0.

EAP Messages
WCN-NET_Start WCN-NET_Start is sent by the access point when it receives an EAP Response/Identity that contains the NAI WFA-SimpleConfig-Enrollee-1-0. The Message Data field of this message is empty. WCN-NET_ACK WCN-NET_ACK is sent by the supplicant or the authenticator when it successfully processes a message but does not have a message to send in response. For example, WCN-NET_ACK is sent by either the supplicant or authenticator when it has processed a message fragment and is ready for the next fragment. WCN-NET_ACK is also sent in response to M2D messages. WCN-NET_NACK WCN-NET_NACK is sent by the supplicant or the authenticator if it encounters an error when it authenticates or processes a message. If the supplicant is an enrollee, then this message is sent by the access point to all external registrars via a UPnP event. The Message Data field of this message is specified in EAP Message Framing earlier in this specification. WCN-NET_MSG WCN-NET_MSG may be sent by the supplicant or authenticator. Its MessageData payload contains a Registration Protocol message. The authenticator state machine does not examine these messages to determine their contents. It simply passes them along to the registrar or enrollee.

WCN-NET_Done WCN-NET_Done is sent by the enrollee after it has successfully processed a WCN-NET_M8 message. It indicates that the enrollee believes it has correctly received a credential for the WLAN. The Message Data field of this message shown in the Done message in Table 18.

802.1X Enabled This variable specifies if the network uses 802.1X for network authentication. AP Setup Locked This variable indicates that the access point has entered a state in which it refuses to allow an external registrar to attempt to run the Registration Protocol by using the access points PIN (with the access point acting as enrollee). The access point should enter this state if it believes a brute force attack is underway against the access points PIN. When in this state, the access point must continue to allow other enrollees to connect and run the Registration Protocol with any external registrars or the access points built-in registrar (if any). Only the use of the access points PIN for adding external registrars is disabled in this state. The AP Setup Locked state can be reset to FALSE through an authenticated call to SetAPSettings. Access points may provide other implementation-specific methods of resetting the AP Setup Locked state as well.

Application Extension The Application Extension attribute is used to pass parameters for enabling applications during the WSC exchange. It is similar to the Vendor Extension attribute except that instead of a 3-byte Vendor ID prefix to the Vendor Data field, a 16-byte UUID (as defined in RFC 4122) is used. This provides a virtually unlimited application ID space with a regular structure that can be easily mapped onto a generic application extension API. Furthermore, the 16-byte UUID value can be used to derive application-specific AMSKs as described in Section 6.3 or pass any necessary keying directly. The enrollee may, for example, send two Application Extension attributes to the registrar in the Encrypted Settings of M7, one with UUID-A and one with UUID-X. If the registrar supports the application that corresponds to UUID-X but not UUID-A, the registrar may indicate to the enrollee that it also supports application X by sending an Application Extension with UUID-X in the Encrypted Settings of M8. Given this exchange, the enrollee and registrar can exchange application-specific information in the Data field such as application-specific keying or they can derive an AMSK for application X as follows: AMSK = kdf(EMSK, N1 || N2 || UUID-X, 256)

One use of this Application Extension mechanism is to permit a Simple Config exchange to simultaneously set up connections for multiple wireless technologies (such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth). To accomplish this setup, each network type would specify a UUID value for this purpose and define a corresponding Data element (to exchange data such as the devices MAC address on the other network). A network setup application on each device would exchange the Application Extension data by using the Simple Config Registration Protocol and then set up the other network connections by using that data with the native pairing mechanisms of the other networks.

Authenticator This component is a keyed hash of data. The specific data in the hash calculation depends upon the processing context. The hash algorithm for Easy Setup version 1.0 is HMAC-SHA-256. In the context of the Registration Protocol, the default key that is used in the HMAC is AuthKey. If a nondefault key is used, the key is specified in the Key Identifier attribute immediately preceding the Authenticator attribute. To reduce message payload size, the Authenticator attributes Data component includes only the first 64 bits of the HMAC-SHA-256 output. Config Methods This component lists the configuration methods that the enrollee or registrar supports. The list is a bitwise OR of values from the following table. In addition to Config Methods, access points and stations that support the UPnP Management Interface must support the permitted Config Methods attribute, which is used to control the Config Methods that are enabled on that access point.

Device Name This component is a user-friendly description of the device encoded in UTF-8. Typically, this would be a unique identifier that describes the product in a way that is recognizable to the user. The device must have this field populated from the factory, and it is recommended that it indicate the manufacturer and model. Device Password ID This attribute is used to identify a device password. There are six predefined values and ten reserved values. If the Device Password ID is Default, then the enrollee should use its PIN password (from the label or display). This password may correspond to the label, display, or a user-defined password that has been configured to replace the original device password.

"User-specified" indicates that the user has overridden the password with a manually selected value. "Machine-specified" indicates that the original PIN password has been overridden by a strong, machine-generated device password value. The Rekey value indicates that the devices 256-bit rekeying password will be used. The PushButton value indicates that the PIN is the allzero value that was reserved for the PushButton Configuration method. The registrar-specified value indicates a PIN that has been obtained from the registrar (via a display or other out-of-band method). This value may be further augmented with the optional Identity attribute in M1. This augmentation is useful when multiple predefined UserID/PIN pairs have been established by a registrar such as an authenticator used for Hotspot access. If the Device Password ID in M1 is not one of the predefined or reserved values, it corresponds to a password that was given to the registrar as an OOB Device Password. Table A8.

EAP Type This attribute contains the binary representation of an EAP type as found in an EAP packet. If it is a standard EAP type, it is only a single byte. Extended EAP types, such as the Wi-Fi Simple Config Registration Protocol (refer to EAP transport section), may be up to 8 bytes (1-byte Type, 3-byte Vendor-ID, and 4byte Vendor-Type). E-Hash1 This component is the HMAC-SHA-256 hash of the first half of the device password and the enrollees first secret nonce. E-Hash2 This component is the HMAC-SHA-256 hash of the second half of the device password and the enrollees second secret nonce. E-SNonce1 This component is the first nonce that the enrollee uses with the first half of the device password. E-SNonce2 This component is the second nonce that the enrollee uses with the second half of the device password. Encrypted Settings The Data field of the Encrypted Settings attribute includes an initialization vector (IV) followed by a set of encrypted Simple Config TLV attributes. The last attribute in the encrypted set is a key wrap authenticator computed according to the procedure described in Master Table Definitions. In the context of the Registration Protocol, the default key that is used for the encryption is the KeyWrapKey.

If an alternative key wrap algorithm is later preferred, it can be added by defining a new attribute with a different attribute ID. The key wrap authenticator is 96 bits long (32 bits of attribute ID and length, and 64 bits of the HMAC-SHA-256 output). This implies that the total overhead for an Encrypted Settings attribute is 256 bits (32 bits of attribute ID and length, 128 bits of IV, and 96 bits of key wrap authenticator). Encryption Type This attribute contains a specific value from the encryption type flags table for the enrollee (access point or station) to use. Encryption Type Flags This attribute is a binary OR set of WLAN encryption types that are supported by the enrollee (one or more from the following table). Table A9. Encryption Type Flags Value

R-Hash2 This variable is the HMAC-SHA-256 hash of the second half of the device password and the registrars second secret nonce. R-SNonce1 This variable is the first nonce that the registrar uses with the first half of the device password. R-SNonce2 This variable is the second nonce that the registrar uses with the second half of the device password. Registrar Nonce This component is a randomly generated binary value that the registrar creates for setup. Request Type This component specifies the mode in which the device operates for this setup exchange. If the device is an enrollee, it may send out only discovery messages or may also request that the registrar proceed with opening a data connection. This allows enrollees to more efficiently discover devices on the network. If the device indicates that it wants to engage setup as a registrar, the access point must indicate that it will operate as an access point in the response. The Request Type attribute is carried throughout the 802.1X data channel setup process in the Simple Config IE. There are two subtypes of registrars: A WLAN manager registrar indicates that this registrar intends to manage the access point or station settings by using UPnP. This means it will derive a UPnP AP or STA management key.

The ordinary registrar type indicates that this registrar does not intend to subsequently manage the enrollees settings. Access points must not derive access point management keys for an ordinary registrar. If a registrar does not need to be a WLAN manager registrar, it should set the Request Type to Registrar. This avoids needlessly consuming resources on the access point. Table A13. Request Type Values

This document defines the REQUIRED ROOT device: urn:schemas-wifialliance-org:device:WFADevice The WFADevice encapsulates services for the WCN-NET Device Control Protocol (DCP). The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) device implements IP-based transports (such as Ethernet/802.3 wired standards) to provide an out-of-band mechanism to configure IEEE 802.11 (a, b, and g) settings on the device so the device may authenticate and associate with a secured wireless network and on access points so that the access point may host secure wireless networks.

B.1.1 Focus and Goals for DCP Version 1.0


WCN-NET has specific requirements for creating and extending wireless networks and adding wireless stations: Setup that is simple, a task that a typical consumer can complete Setup process that is secure and must maximize security of the WLAN A consumer focus with some attention to small business cases

B.1.2 Non-Goals for DCP Version 1.0


The following work items were considered to be beyond the scope of this version of the DCP. Replacing or enhancing the link security mechanism of the WLAN Configuration services for access points for "hotspot" and enterprise networks

B.1.3 WLAN Security Requirements and Recommendations


Link security is critical for wireless home network because connectivity is not restricted by the reach of wires or availability of physical ports. The likelihood of unintentional cross-links and malicious drive-by attacks will likely increase along with the popularity of WLANs. This will be detrimental to the user experience with wireless networks and will impede introduction of new product categories and usage models. Consumers and service providers will demand link security as part of the WLAN package. An alternative to link security is to protect specific resources with security mechanisms involving higher (network or application) layers of the networking software stack. However, the average home user cannot be expected to be technically savvy and to take the time to identify all the vulnerable points (data/devices) in the home network for protecting himself or herself individually with appropriate methods. Currently the most common way to secure 802.11 links in the home involves WiredEquivalent Privacy (WEP)based encryption and authentication. The security risks when using WEP are well known. An attacker can crack the WEP key by collecting packets with a wireless packet sniffer and running widely available utilities to determine the WEP key. If the WLAN owner becomes aware of the security compromise, the WEP key on all the clients and access point must be updated because the same WEP key is used for all nodes.

To build consumer confidence and expand usage of wireless applications, it is important for the home WLAN devices to adopt stronger security mechanisms such as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) that has become available in the market. Longer term, it is expected that the security specification being worked on in the 802.11i working group would be the widely adopted and appropriate solution for a strong security mechanism on the access point. The security enhancements provide peruser based authentication, per-session keys, frequent rekeying, and stronger encryption methods such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). One of the main issues with the use of security in WLAN is the process of setting up the security parameters. Current mechanisms for initializing link security on an access point device are not very user friendly. For example, with the WEP-based model, the user must retrieve a long WEP key for the access point either through a secure/wired connection first and enter it on the new client correctly. This problem of bootstrapping also exists with the mechanisms proposed as an improvement on the plain WEP-based security. Because of this, users are likely to not enable security in their network, leading to several vulnerabilities. The objective of the 802.11 security initialization mechanism using UPnP as proposed in this document is to reduce user involvement and introduce an intuitive usage model for users to take advantage of the higher level of security. An overall security solution should protect the user from "man-in-the-middle" attacks by preventing the users client from associating with an unfriendly access point and the users access point from associating with a foreign client. It should prevent session-hijack attacks by making sure all messages between the access point and station are authenticated. The objective of the DCP is to enable a secure WLAN solution with combined Wi-Fi and IP-connected devices that implement the required elements specified in the DCP. The following figure shows the major functional components of the WFADevice.

B.1.3.1 Station Parameter Configuration


The WFAWLANConfig service, a required service of WFADevice, provides state variables for some of the wireless station parameters. They provide the ability to easily configure security and operation parameters, and offer diagnostic information. In addition, UPnP also provides event notification capability to inform clients that are responsible for Wi-Fi device configuration on the status of the Wi-Fi station. The WCN-NET protocol that is imbedded in the exchange between the control point and the WFADevice perform authentication and encryption so that the UPnP actions do not require any additional security. The state variables in any WFADevice service must not return directly the binary data that is contained. If requested for a state variable action, the device may return a null or may choose to

B.2.3.1 WLAN Node Requirements


From the perspective of requirements, a WFADevice is a WLAN node that also has an Ethernet or other established IP interface for, at a minimum, the purpose of discovering the device and configuring the WLAN settings of the device. The WLAN node requirements are listed below: The device must be addressable via the Internet Protocol (IP) protocol by using the Ethernet interface. The device must provide a user the ability to physically reset it to factory default settings. The device must implement the WCN-NET protocol. This involves use of a predefined password (typically a PIN) and a public-private key pair and a cryptographic library for encryption and authentication. The device may implement the proxy function as defined in the WFAWLANConfigService v1.0 specification. This service allows for any WLAN station to send an event when a new WLAN enrollee is requesting WLAN configuration. Note that the proxy function is required for access points. B.2.3.1.1 Client Requirements for Configuration of WLAN Parameters If configuration of WLAN parameters over the UPnP/IP channel is desired, at least one client in the LAN should have an interactive user interface. Other WLAN clients may be UPnP enabled or not, and they may be able to execute UPnP control point functionality to send UPnP actions to the WLAN station.

B.2.3.2 Configuration of New Clients to the WLAN


WFAWLANConfig service provides a set of actions to query and modify a set of 802.11 parameters on the WLAN client over an IP interface. Acquisition of the WLAN settings by the registrar performing configuration is performed in several ways: Using the actions defined in the WFAWLANConfigService v1.0 or associated vendor extensions. From a local store on the registrar, possibly from a previous wireless client configuration for networks that use a single PSK. Current wireless settings of the registrar (for a WLAN attached device). Input from the user.

The PSK is encrypted by using the public keybased protocol that is specified the WCN-NET specification. Settings are sent by using the action specified in the WFAWLANConfig service. The data sets are validated and the settings are encrypted by using the WCN-NET exchange mechanism. The WFADevice attempts to associate with the WLAN and reports state.

established between the pair, the registrar may add or remove station configurations or reconfigure the WLAN by using the TLV over UPnP methods defined herein, referencing the secure association via the Session ID (SID) by using the various access point configuration actions.

C.2.5.2 Proxy Function


The proxy function bridges the UPnP network and the UPnP network to forward notification of the existence of a device that wants to receive WLAN configuration. A registrar receives the requests by subscribing to the UPnP event service provided by the proxy function and performs the WCN-NET exchange with the enrollee over UPnP by using the WLANEvent/WLANEventType/WLANEventMAC event and the PutWLANResponse action. The proxy function must cache registrar responses to Probe request events and to EAP message exchanges so that the enrollee may get information serially for each registrar that is using the proxy function on a device. The 802.11 mechanisms are described in the WCN-NET specification.

C.2.5.3 Initialization and Configuration of the Ethernet-Connected Wireless Device


When an Ethernet-connected wireless device initializes on the network, it advertises WFADevice and the WFAWLANConfig service to the UPnP network. A device detects the notification and retrieves DeviceInfo to determine that it is a wireless station that needs wireless settings over Ethernet and follows the WCN-NET process, validated the station with a PIN (or password if set) over the UPnP GetMessage and PutMessage actions. After the secure association is established between the pair, the device can be accessed directly via GetSTASettings and SetSTASettings at a later time if returned to the Ethernet network or optionally over the wireless network by referencing the Session ID (SID).
