Hello everybody!
I was wondering if there is any way to use Ad-hoc mode (IBSS) with
WPA/WPA2 as described in IEEE 802.11i or if this is intended for later
releases of wpa_supplicant/hostapd. According to 802.11i, STAs negotiate
pairwise keys using a 4-way-handshake and every STA creates its own
group key.
The only way i figured out until now is to use fixed group keys only,
which does not provide a adequate level of security.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Rafael
