Description

January 8, 2007: Official announcement

Official page on Wi-Fi Alliance website

It is possible to buy the spec from the Wi-Fi Alliance for 99 US$ or, if your company is part of the Alliance, log in and download it here.

Third-parties descriptions:

Short explanation of PIN and Push-Button methods Devicescape Agent WPS by Devicescape
Windows Connect Now as the Microsoft implementation of Wi-Fi Protected Setup for Vista, described in this doc: WCN-Netspec.doc

Note that Wi-Fi Protected Setup appeared with various names in the press before the official name was announced in August 2006, they all refer to the same technology:

Wi-Fi Easy Setup
Wi-Fi Simple Config

MIME type defined for Wi-Fi Protected Setup

Wireshark dissector

Jianping Jiang and myself extended EAP and IEEE802.11 dissectors for Wireshark.
I posted it to the wireshark-dev mailing-list on February 5, 2007:

Wi-Fi Protected Setup: Patch for EAP and 802.11 dissectors

Reference implementations

Intel Wi-Fi* Simple Config (WSC) Linux* Reference Implementation
- BSD license
Sony Wi-Fi Simple Configuration NFC Plug-in Software Download
- Free download but requires registration, so probably limited to companies.
- Possibility to acquire sample NFC hardware, same remark as above.
Devicescape Devicescape Agent WPS
- Availability unknown

TODO
