OWE Transition is described in the WiFi Alliance OWE Specification
version 1.1. The idea behind it is to support both legacy devices
without any concept of OWE as well as modern ones which support the
OWE protocol.
OWE is a somewhat special type of network. Where it advertises an
RSN element but is still "open". This apparently confuses older
devices so the OWE transition procedure was created.
The idea is simple: have two BSS's, one open, and one as a hidden
OWE network. Each network advertises a vendor IE which points to the
other. A device sees the open network and can connect (legacy) or
parse the IE, scan for the hidden OWE network, and connect to that
instead.
Care was taken to handle connections to hidden networks directly.
The policy is being set that any hidden network with the WFA OWE IE
is not connectable via ConnectHiddenNetwork(). These networks are
special, and can only be connected to via the network object for
the paired open network.
When scan results come in from any source (DBus, quick, autoconnect)
each BSS is checked for the OWE Transition IE. A few paths can be
taken here when the IE is found:
1. The BSS is open. The BSSID in the IE is checked against the
current scan results (excluding hidden networks). If a match is
found we should already have the hidden OWE BSS and nothing
else needs to be done (3).
2. The BSS is open. The BSSID in the IE is not found in the
current scan results, and the open network also has no OWE BSS
in it. Add this network to a list to scan for the hidden OWE
BSS.
3. The BSS is not open and contains the OWE IE. This BSS will
automatically get added to the network object and nothing else
needs to be done.
After processing and networks added to this hidden OWE scan list
are processed. Each network should contain a single open BSS with
the OWE IE. The SSID from the IEs are added to the scan parameters
and the scan is started.
The scan results should contain only the (previously hidden) OWE
BSS's. These BSS's should contain the OWE IE which is used to look
up the original open networks. If found the OWE BSS's are added to
their respective networks.
From here network.c can detect that this is an OWE transition
network and connect to the OWE BSS rather than the open one.
