Hi all, I saw the latest discussion about the security layer and wants to open a new thread about discussion for access this layer over nl802154 and putting a "very easy to use" functionality into iwpan. I need to admit, I never tested myself this layer, also I told many times that the step to put security layer functionality into nl802154 is a necessary step. For that reason I declare the security layer as broken. Several months ago I started to put these functionality into wpan-tools and nl802154. It's just parsing a file at the moment and putting the all relevant entries for key, device, seclevel tables in cfg802154. Nothing more. These tables are handled like an ACL in 802.15.4 (so far I know) and necessary to do the "key lookup" procedure, on receiving decrypted frames. At weekend I will try to provide my stuff which I already have done and will try to explain what the idea for the next necessary steps are. It's just to start a discussion "How do deal with accessing llsec over nl802154/cfg802154". After we can accessing the sec layer over nl802154, we can hopefully remove the old interface stuff. Does this sounds like a plan?
I think this is a good idea and I would gladly gve this some testing next week. I bet Simon would do as well as he is currently looking into it.
