From e8d048c5e0ad0807a0362fe31c68c8f5eb228bff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Lowe Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2022 17:51:48 +0000 Subject: hostapd: SAE - Enable hunting-and-pecking and H2E Enable both the hunting-and-pecking loop and hash-to-element mechanisms by default in OpenWRT with SAE. Commercial Wi-Fi solutions increasingly frequently now ship with both hunting-and-pecking and hash-to-element (H2E) enabled by default as this is more secure and more performant than offering hunting-and-pecking alone for H2E capable clients. The hunting and pecking loop mechanism is inherently fragile and prone to timing-based side channels in its design and is more computationally intensive to perform. Hash-to-element (H2E) is its long-term replacement to address these concerns. For clients that only support the hunting-and-pecking loop mechanism, this is still available to use by default. For clients that in addition support, or were to require, the hash-to-element (H2E) mechanism, this is then available for use.
