Following steps are used when associating with an AP using WPA:

• wpa_supplicant requests the kernel driver to scan neighbouring BSSes

• wpa_supplicant selects a BSS based on its configuration

• wpa_supplicant requests the kernel driver to associate with the chosen BSS

• if WPA-EAP: integrated IEEE 802.1X Supplicant completes EAP authentication with the

authentication server (proxy by the Authenticator in the AP)

• If WPA-EAP: master key is received from the IEEE 802.1X Supplicant

• If WPA-PSK: wpa_supplicant uses PSK as the master session key

• wpa_supplicant completes WPA 4-Way Handshake and Group Key Handshake with the

Authenticator (AP). WPA2 has integrated the initial Group Key Handshake into the 4-Way

Handshake.

• wpa_supplicant configures encryption keys for unicast and broadcast

• normal data packets can be transmitted and received
