The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Failed to receive WPA Group Message after 4-way handshake

Asked by ah6511 in Programming for 802.11x Wireless Standard

Tags: ,

Hi,

I am trying to write a user-mode WPA supplicant apps. The configuration
for both STA and AP is WPA-PSK.
Here is what I did for 4-way handshake:
1) Initiate 4-way handshake by sending EAPOL-Start message.
2) Receive message A from AP and got ANonnce.
3) Generating SNonce and calc PTK and MIC based on the algorithms by
IEEE 802.11i and send Message B to AP.
4) Receive message C and verify that AP knows the PMK.
5) Send message D to AP and Install the PTK with OID_802_11_ADD_KEY.
Everything seems successful.
Now I try to receive group key, but it failed to receive it, instead I
always receive packet similar to message A.
So one of 2 things could be wrong:
A) Install PTK with OID_802_11_ADD_KEY, which I have following code:
DWORD SetPairwiseKey(const u8 *bssid, const UCHAR *pKey, int nKeyLen,
u8 *pKeyRsc)
{
int nSize = sizeof(NDIS_OID) + FIELD_OFFSET(NDIS_802_11_KEY,
KeyMaterial) + KeyLen;
UCHAR *SetBuffer = new UCHAR[nSize];
ZeroMemory(SetBuffer, nSize);
PNDISPROT_SET_OID       pSetOid;
pSetOid = (PNDISPROT_SET_OID)SetBuffer;
pSetOid->Oid = OID_802_11_ADD_KEY;
NDIS_802_11_KEY *p80211Key = (NDIS_802_11_KEY*)&(pSetOid->Data[0]);
p80211Key->Length = FIELD_OFFSET(NDIS_802_11_KEY, KeyMaterial) +
nKeyLen;
p80211Key->KeyIndex = 0xe0000000;
memcpy(&p80211Key->KeyRSC, pKeyRsc, LEN_KEY_DESC_RSC);
memcpy(p80211Key->BSSID, bssid, MAC_ADDR_LEN);
p80211Key->KeyLength = nKeyLen;
memcpy(p80211Key->KeyMaterial, pKey, nKeyLen);
DWORD dwErr = SetOidValue(SetBuffer, nSize, "ADD_KEY");
delete SetBuffer;
return dwErr;


}


the return value is 0, so it seems OK

B) Message D I sent out is wrong, here is the packet frame from
ethereal:
....
802.1X Authentication

    Descriptor Type: EAPOL WPA key (254)
    Key Information: 0x0109
        .... .... .... .001 = Key Descriptor Version: HMAC-MD5 for MIC

    Nonce: 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000...
    Key IV: 00000000000000000000000000000000
    WPA Key RSC: 0000000000000000
    WPA Key ID: 0000000000000000
    WPA Key MIC: 2781D5942427AF9C44B30C98AE6374CE
    WPA Key Length: 0

So it looks OK to me too.
Any idea why group message is not being received.
Thx so much in advance.
BTW, I am using NDISUIO and ReadFile/WriteFile to send/receive EAPOL packet.
I can provide the proto type project too.
