NAME

ieee80211_crypto_attach , ieee80211_crypto_detach , ieee80211_wep_crypt - 802.11 WEP encryption functions

SYNOPSIS

Ft void Fn ieee80211_crypto_attach struct ifnet *ifp Ft void Fn ieee80211_crypto_detach struct ifnet *ifp Ft struct mbuf * Fn ieee80211_wep_crypt struct ifnet *ifp struct mbuf *m0 int txflag

DESCRIPTION

These functions provide software encryption support for 802.11 device drivers.

The Fn ieee80211_crypto_attach function initializes crypto support for the interface Fa ifp , and sets the initialization vector (IV) for WEP encryption to a random number derived from a secure PRNG.

The Fn ieee80211_crypto_detach function frees data structures associated with crypto support for the interface Fa ifp .

The Fn ieee80211_wep_crypt function runs the appropriate WEP encryption algorithm over the 802.11 encapsulated frame held in the mbuf chain Fa m0 , for transmission or reception on the interface Fa ifp . The Fa txflag argument specifies whether the frame is being received or transmitted. A value of 0 indicates that the frame is being received and should therefore be decrypted; a non-zero value indicates that the frame is being transmitted and should be encrypted.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

The Fn ieee80211_wep_crypt function stores its IV in the interface's embedded Vt struct ieee80211com instance.

HISTORY
