Hi all, I am trying to set up wired 802.1x with MACSec using WPA_supplicant as supplicant, hostapd as authenticator, and RADIUS as authentication server. So far I managed to successfully authenticate as supplicant using EAP-TTLS. My next step is to enable MACSec, but this fails as hostapd does not recognize the packet type. I configured WPA_supplicant with the "macsec_linux" driver enabled. My .conf looks like this: ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant eapol_version=3 ap_scan=0 fast_reauth=1 network={ key_mgmt=IEEE8021X eap=TTLS phase2="auth=PAP" identity="user" password="password" ca_cert="/path/to/ca.pem" eapol_flags=0 macsec_policy=1 } Everything seems to be working fine on the supplicant side. After successful EAPoL authentication it sends a MKA packet to the authenticator as shown below: EAPOL authentication completed - result=SUCCESS IEEE 802.1X: External notification - Create MKA for 78:34:af:c9:12:ap EAPOL: Successfully fetched key (len=64) Derived CAK - hexdump(len=16): [REMOVED] Derived CKN - hexdump(len=16): ba 50 37 29 d7 3b ec 00 7e 0f 9e 1a 06 db f1 f7 KaY: Create transmit SC SCI: - hexdump(len=8): 3c 79 0e 11 a8 72 00 01 macsec_drv_enable_protect_frames -> TRUE macsec_drv_set_replay_protect -> FALSE, 0 macsec_drv_create_transmit_sc KaY: Derived KEK - hexdump(len=16): [REMOVED] KaY: Derived ICK - hexdump(len=16): [REMOVED] KaY: Participant created: - hexdump(len=16): ba 50 37 29 d7 3b ec 00 7e 0f 9e 1a 06 db f1 f7 l2_packet_receive: src=78:34:af:c9:12:ap len=60 KaY: to enpacket and send the MKPDU *** MKA Basic Parameter set *** Version.......: 1 Priority......: 255 KeySvr........: 0 MACSecDesired.: 1 MACSecCapable.: 2 Body Length...: 44 SCI MAC.......: 3c:79:0e:11:a8:72 SCI Port .....: 1 Member Id.....: - hexdump(len=12): 9f 68 e0 44 a9 7c 3d ba c2 78 0c a6 Message Number: 1 Algo Agility..: - hexdump(len=4): 00 80 c2 01 CAK Name......: - hexdump_ascii(len=16): ba 50 37 29 d7 3b ec 00 7e 0f 9e 1a 06 db f1 f7 _P7)_;__~_______ Unfortunately, on the authenticator side, hostapd does not recognize the packet type: enp5s0f1: CTRL-EVENT-EAP-SUCCESS2 3c:79:0e:11:a8:72 IEEE 802.1X: 3c:79:0e:11:a8:72 BE_AUTH entering state SUCCESS enp5s0f1: STA 3c:79:0e:11:a8:72 IEEE 802.1X: Sending EAP Packet (identifier 109) IEEE 802.1X: 3c:79:0e:11:a8:72 AUTH_PAE entering state AUTHENTICATED enp5s0f1: STA 3c:79:0e:11:a8:72 IEEE 802.1X: authorizing port enp5s0f1: STA 3c:79:0e:11:a8:72 IEEE 802.1X: authenticated - EAP type: 21 (TTLS) IEEE 802.1X: 3c:79:0e:11:a8:72 BE_AUTH entering state IDLE enp5s0f1: Event NEW_STA (22) received enp5s0f1: Event EAPOL_RX (23) received IEEE 802.1X: 72 bytes from 3c:79:0e:11:a8:72 IEEE 802.1X: version=3 type=5 length=68 unknown IEEE 802.1X packet type This repeats for a total of 4 tries which all fail. I assume my problem lies in the version of hostapd (hostapd 2.7-devel), which does not support macsec. However, I am unable to find documentation how to build hostapd with macsec support or if it is possible at all? I hope you guys can help me with this.
