feat(privshield): E2E hardware program — validated C core + multi-provider firmware scaffolds
Take VEIL from the synthetic Rust reference model toward real WiFi silicon
across multiple hardware providers, around one shared, host-validated core.
Answers the questions "can OpenWRT / open WiFi software implement this?" and
"can ESP32 help scramble signals?" with an honest per-platform feasibility map.
Portable C shield core (firmware/privshield/core/) — VALIDATED (host test):
- veil_shield.{h,c}: keyed Givens-rotation obfuscation of the identity-bearing
"fine" subspace, C99, no malloc / no libc I/O, only <math.h>. SplitMix64 key
schedule byte-identical to the Rust crate, so on-air behavior is consistent
everywhere and every adapter links the same math.
- make test passes: energy conservation (orthogonal => "not jamming"),
reversibility (recover inverts apply), wrong-key-fails, and PRNG stream parity
with the Rust crate. This is build/host evidence, NOT silicon.
Per-provider adapters (all SYNTHETIC / L0, build-only, TODO(hw) markers):
- openwifi/ grade B (ceiling A, effort D): only open PHY/MAC (FPGA) that can
host the full keyed rotation + inverse; needs new HDL + 2nd TX chain. Carries
the P5 measurement protocol (MEASUREMENT.md) for the first MEASURED result.
- openwrt/ grade C: per-packet keyed unitary is blob-blocked on commodity APs;
coarse compliant knobs (TX antenna map, sounding-cadence jitter) reachable
from userspace/hostapd; ath9k is the one credible driver-patch route.
- nexmon/ grade C: reading the compressed-BF angles is solved (nexmon_csi /
Wi-BFI); shaping the transmitted report is research-grade (D11 ucode-adjacent).
- esp32/ grade F (self) / B (supporting): cannot shape its own BF feedback
(closed esp-phy-lib blob); legitimate as a sensing detector and external-RIS
controller — the honest way ESP32 "helps scramble", via an external surface.
Docs:
- firmware/privshield/README.md: architecture, layout, and the feasibility matrix.
- ADR-290: the E2E hardware program, PROOF discipline, and per-provider decision;
added to docs/adr/README.md index.
Compliant waveform controls only, never jamming. No adapter has run on silicon;
no MEASURED claim is made (that is roadmap P5, gated on a captured log).

# ADR-290: VEIL end-to-end hardware implementation program (multi-provider firmware)
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Value |
|
||||
|-------|-------|
|
||||
| **Status** | Proposed — P4 scaffolding (build-only); portable core validated on host |
|
||||
| **Date** | 2026-08-09 |
|
||||
| **Parent** | ADR-288 (VEIL shield), ADR-289 (harness), ADR-282 (L0–L5 evidence ladder) |
|
||||
| **Location** | `firmware/privshield/` |
|
||||
| **Relates to** | `firmware/esp32-csi-node/` (the CSI sensor/attacker node), ADR-280 (governed actuation), ADR-141 (attestation) |
|
||||
|
||||
## 0. PROOF discipline
|
||||
|
||||
The **only** artifact validated here is the portable C core
|
||||
(`firmware/privshield/core/`): a host test (`make test`) checks energy
|
||||
conservation, reversibility, wrong-key failure, and — pinned — that its
|
||||
SplitMix64 key schedule is **byte-identical to the Rust crate's** PRNG. That is
|
||||
`build`/host-level evidence, not silicon. Every per-provider adapter is a
|
||||
**build-only scaffold** with `TODO(hw)` markers: `SYNTHETIC / L0`, no captured
|
||||
log, no `MEASURED` claim. Nothing in this ADR asserts VEIL works on real
|
||||
hardware; it asserts a *plan and a shared core* to get there (P5).
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Context
|
||||
|
||||
ADR-288 shipped VEIL as a deterministic, no-radio Rust model, and the 2025–2026
|
||||
SOTA sweep (ADR-288 §sota) confirmed the mechanism's family is real and
|
||||
standard-permitted. The open question left was **"does this run on real WiFi
|
||||
hardware, and on which?"** — including the user asks: *can OpenWRT / open WiFi
|
||||
software implement it, and can ESP32 help scramble signals?* Answering requires
|
||||
committing to the platform reality rather than assuming a uniform "firmware"
|
||||
target.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Decision
|
||||
|
||||
Stand up `firmware/privshield/` as a **multi-provider E2E program** around one
|
||||
shared, validated core:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **A portable C shield core** (`core/veil_shield.{h,c}`) — the keyed
|
||||
Givens-rotation obfuscation, `no_std`-friendly C99 (no malloc/libc I/O), with
|
||||
a SplitMix64 key schedule matching the Rust crate so on-air behavior is
|
||||
identical everywhere and every adapter links the *same* math. Host-tested.
|
||||
2. **Per-provider adapters**, each built and graded by a hardware research
|
||||
agent, honest about what its stack can actually touch:
|
||||
- **`openwifi/`** (open PHY/MAC on SDR/FPGA) — the highest-capability path and
|
||||
the one that can host the **keyed-reversible** design end-to-end
|
||||
(protector + AP-side compensation). Carries the **P5 measurement protocol**
|
||||
(`MEASUREMENT.md`) that yields the first `MEASURED` result with a witness.
|
||||
- **`openwrt/`** (Linux `mac80211`, mt76/ath9k…) — the commodity path.
|
||||
Sounding-cadence randomization, MU-group and stream-mapping control are
|
||||
feasible from the driver/hostapd; the per-packet unitary on the LTF spatial
|
||||
mapping is firmware-deep on most parts. Partial.
|
||||
- **`nexmon/`** (Broadcom/Cypress C firmware patches) — the commodity
|
||||
C-firmware route; the read path is proven (Wi-BFI/nexmon_csi), the transmit
|
||||
report-shaping path is research-grade/partial.
|
||||
- **`esp32/`** (ESP-IDF) — **not** a feedback protector (the beamforming path
|
||||
is a closed blob): ESP32 shapes CSI *read*, not transmitted feedback. Its
|
||||
legitimate roles are a **sensing detector** (trigger the AP-side shield) and
|
||||
an **RIS controller** (drive an external reconfigurable surface to scramble
|
||||
the sensing direction — the honest way ESP32 "helps scramble", via an
|
||||
external surface, not its own PHY).
|
||||
3. **Compliance stance carried into hardware:** every control shapes the node's
|
||||
own standards-conformant emission and preserves energy; the ESP32
|
||||
decoy/cover-traffic idea is documented as *legally sensitive / not
|
||||
recommended* precisely because it edges toward the interference line.
|
||||
|
||||
Per-provider feasibility grades live in each subdir README and the top-level
|
||||
feasibility matrix; they are the answer to the "which hardware" question.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. What this explicitly is NOT
|
||||
|
||||
- **Not validated firmware.** No adapter has run on silicon; there is no witness.
|
||||
The scaffolds compile-*shaped*, not compile-*guaranteed* on their toolchains
|
||||
(which are absent in this environment).
|
||||
- **Not a claim that ESP32 can shield beamforming feedback** — it cannot; it is a
|
||||
detector/RIS-controller only.
|
||||
- **Not jamming, on any platform.** Compliant waveform shaping only.
|
||||
- **Not a MEASURED result.** That is P5, gated on a captured log.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
- One validated core, four honest provider scaffolds, and a concrete P5
|
||||
measurement plan — a real path from model to silicon, with the effort/blocker
|
||||
reality made explicit per platform.
|
||||
- The shared core keeps every future hardware result consistent with the crate
|
||||
and with each other.
|
||||
- Scope stays inside `firmware/privshield/`; no other crate/firmware is touched
|
||||
(the existing `esp32-csi-node` remains the sensor/attacker node).
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Validation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd firmware/privshield/core && make test # host: energy/reversibility/PRNG parity
|
||||
# per-provider builds require their toolchains (ESP-IDF, OpenWRT SDK, Nexmon,
|
||||
# Vivado) and real hardware — see each subdir's BUILD/INTEGRATION notes.

# VEIL privacy shield — end-to-end hardware implementation
|

This tree is the **hardware/firmware realization** of the VEIL compliant-waveform
|
||||
privacy shield (crate `wifi-densepose-privshield`, ADR-288; hardware program
|
||||
ADR-290). It takes VEIL from a synthetic reference model toward real silicon
|
||||
across multiple hardware providers.

```
|
||||
|
||||
- **`core/`** — the shared, hardware-agnostic keyed-rotation implementation.
|
||||
Pure C99, no malloc, no libc I/O, only `<math.h>`. **Validated here**:
|
||||
`cd core && make test` (energy conservation, reversibility, wrong-key-fails,
|
||||
and a PRNG stream that matches the Rust crate exactly). This is what makes the
|
||||
on-air behavior identical across every provider and consistent with the
|
||||
reference crate.
|
||||
- **Protector adapters** apply the core's rotation to the transmitted
|
||||
beamforming feedback / spatial mapping. Feasibility differs sharply by
|
||||
platform (see the matrix) — full control needs an open PHY (openwifi);
|
||||
commodity paths are partial and firmware-deep.
|
||||
- **Supporting roles** are where cheap commodity hardware (ESP32) genuinely
|
||||
helps *without* being able to shape its own feedback: detecting sensing to
|
||||
trigger the shield, or driving an external reconfigurable surface (RIS).
|
||||
|
||||
## Layout
|
||||
|
||||
| Path | Provider | Role |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `core/` | portable C | keyed-rotation shield core (validated host test) |
|
||||
| `openwifi/` | Xilinx Zynq + AD9361 (open PHY/MAC) | full protector + the P5 measurement path |
|
||||
| `openwrt/` | Linux `mac80211` (mt76 / ath9k…) | commodity protector (partial; sounding/MU control feasible) |
|
||||
| `nexmon/` | Broadcom/Cypress (RPi) | C-firmware-patch protector (research-grade, partial) |
|
||||
| `esp32/` | Espressif ESP-IDF | sensing detector + RIS controller (NOT a feedback protector) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Feasibility matrix
|
||||
|
||||
Grades reflect *capability to actually shape the beamforming-feedback surface*
|
||||
(the waveform VEIL must touch), **not** effort. Each grade is taken from that
|
||||
provider's own README, produced by a hardware research agent; the effort/blocker
|
||||
reality is in the "Why" column. All rows are `SYNTHETIC / L0` — build-only, no
|
||||
silicon, no captured log.
|
||||
|
||||
| Provider | Grade | Can it shape the BF-feedback surface? | Why |
|
||||
|---|:---:|---|---|
|
||||
| **openwifi** (Zynq + AD9361, open PHY/MAC) | **B** | **Yes — the only full path.** Capability ceiling **A**; graded B for effort **D**. | Only platform exposing the whole PHY/MAC on FPGA, so a keyed rotation *and its inverse* are physically reachable. But it ships SISO 802.11a/g/n with **no native explicit beamforming** (no NDP sounding, no SVD `V`, no compressed report), so VEIL is realized as the client-transparent per-packet keyed unitary on the TX spatial-mapping stage — which requires **new HDL + a 2nd TX chain + a Vivado rebuild**. Carries the P5 measurement protocol. |
|
||||
| **openwrt** (Linux `mac80211`; mt76 / ath9k / ath1x) | **C** | **Partial — coarse compliant knobs only.** | The per-packet keyed unitary on the compressed-BF angles / LTF precoder is generated **inside the WiFi MCU firmware blob** on every mainstream AP part (Qualcomm ath10k/11k/12k, MediaTek mt76/mt7915) — userspace never touches the pre-TX `V`. Reachable from userspace: TX antenna-map perturbation, hostapd sounding-cadence jitter, beamformer-capability toggles. **ath9k** (802.11n, register-open) is the one credible driver-patch route toward B. |
|
||||
| **nexmon** (Broadcom/Cypress C-firmware patch; e.g. BCM43455c0) | **C** | **Read = A (solved); write = C/C-.** | *Reading* the compressed-BF angles is already solved (nexmon_csi + Wi-BFI, no firmware change). *Shaping the transmitted* report is graded C: the report is emitted by the proprietary **D11 real-time core** ~10 µs after the NDP, from hardware-updated internal memory — *below* the ARM firmware where Nexmon's C hooks live. Plausible, deep, firmware-version-specific, unproven here. |
|
||||
| **esp32** (Espressif ESP-IDF) | **F** / **B** | **F** as a self-protecting node; **B** as a supporting device. | The BF-report is emitted by the **closed `esp-phy-lib` blob** with no ESP-IDF hook to intercept or rotate it (`esp_wifi_80211_tx` won't hand-craft sounding feedback) — so **F (infeasible)** for shaping its own feedback. It earns **B (build-only)** in three legitimate, compliance-only supporting roles: **sensing detector** (CSI-rate trigger for the AP-side shield) and **RIS controller** (drive an external passive reconfigurable surface — the honest way ESP32 "helps scramble", via an external surface, never its own PHY). |
|
||||
|
||||
**Reading the grades.** Only **openwifi** can host the full keyed-reversible VEIL
|
||||
design end-to-end (and only after real HDL work). **openwrt** and **nexmon** are
|
||||
partial: the exact angles are blob-/ucode-locked on commodity silicon, leaving
|
||||
either coarse compliant perturbations (openwrt) or a deep, unproven ucode-adjacent
|
||||
hook (nexmon). **esp32 cannot shield its own feedback at all** — it contributes as
|
||||
a detector or an external-RIS driver. The direct answer to *"can OpenWRT/open WiFi
|
||||
software implement this, and can ESP32 scramble signals?"* is: **partially via
|
||||
OpenWRT (full only on an open PHY like openwifi), and ESP32 only indirectly via an
|
||||
external surface — never by shaping its own transmission.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Two firmware variants
|
||||
|
||||
- **Keyed-reversible** (VEIL's ~98%-throughput design): the protector rotates and
|
||||
the associated receiver undoes it with the shared key — needs changes on
|
||||
**both** ends + key agreement. Best result; needs an open PHY (openwifi) for a
|
||||
true demo, or the client-transparent AP-side variant below.
|
||||
- **Client-transparent per-packet unitary** (LeakyBeam family): only the AP
|
||||
changes; clients are unmodified. Rides the 802.11 spatial-mapping mechanism the
|
||||
standard marks "not restricted".
|
||||
|
||||
## Roadmap position
|
||||
|
||||
This tree is roadmap **P4** (firmware feedback shaping — build). **P5** is the
|
||||
two-node hardware measurement that produces the first `MEASURED` numbers with a
|
||||
captured log; the openwifi `MEASUREMENT.md` defines that protocol. See
|
||||
`docs/research/privacy-shield/07-implementation-and-roadmap.md`.

# VEIL on ESP32 — feasibility and honest scope
|
||||
|
||||
**Status: `SYNTHETIC / L0` (build-only).** Everything in this directory is an
|
||||
ESP-IDF component *skeleton*. Nothing here has been flashed, run, or captured on
|
||||
silicon. Hardware-touching paths are marked `TODO(hw)`. Per `CLAUDE.md`, no
|
||||
runtime or on-air claim is valid without a captured hardware log — none exists.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a **defensive-security, compliance-only** effort. Nothing here jams,
|
||||
transmits into a band to deny it, or amplifies energy. The ESP32 either
|
||||
*observes* the channel or *toggles the control pins of a passive external
|
||||
surface*.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The direct question: "can we use the ESP32 to scramble signals?"
|
||||
|
||||
**Short answer: not the way you probably mean, and yes in three narrow
|
||||
supporting roles.**
|
||||
|
||||
The ESP32 **cannot shape its own transmitted 802.11 beamforming feedback.** The
|
||||
VEIL shield works by perturbing the *compressed beamforming feedback report* (the
|
||||
Givens/phi-psi angles a station sends back to an AP) with a keyed orthogonal
|
||||
rotation. On the ESP32 that report is generated **inside the closed Espressif
|
||||
Wi-Fi PHY/MAC binary blob** (`esp-phy-lib`, shipped in object form; the Wi-Fi
|
||||
stack is a proprietary blob bound by a hardware NDA and third-party IP
|
||||
licensing). There is **no ESP-IDF API to intercept, replace, or rotate the
|
||||
compressed-BF-report the PHY emits.** `esp_wifi_80211_tx()` lets you inject raw
|
||||
frames, but it is explicitly limited to *beacon, probe req/resp, (non-QoS) data,
|
||||
and action* frames with the PHY choosing the actual precoding — it will not let
|
||||
you hand-craft the VHT/HE sounding-feedback subtype with a chosen precoder. So
|
||||
the ESP32 is **not** a beamforming-feedback protector.
|
||||
|
||||
**Feasibility grade for "ESP32 as a self-protecting VEIL node": F (infeasible).**
|
||||
The one waveform we need to touch is behind a blob with no hook.
|
||||
|
||||
**Feasibility grade for "ESP32 as a VEIL supporting device": B (feasible,
|
||||
build-only).** Three legitimate roles below, best-first.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## What the ESP32 can and cannot do
|
||||
|
||||
| Capability | ESP-IDF surface | VEIL-relevant? | Verdict |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Read CSI (channel state) | `esp_wifi_set_csi_config` / `esp_wifi_set_csi_rx_cb` / `esp_wifi_set_csi` | Yes — detect *being sensed* | **CAN** (observe only) |
|
||||
| Promiscuous / sniffer RX | `esp_wifi_set_promiscuous` | Yes — more CSI, frame cadence | **CAN** (observe only) |
|
||||
| Inject raw mgmt/data frames | `esp_wifi_80211_tx` (beacon, probe, action, non-QoS data only) | Marginal; not for BF feedback | **CAN (limited)** |
|
||||
| Drive external GPIO/SPI hardware | `gpio_*`, `spi_master_*` | Yes — control an external RIS | **CAN** |
|
||||
| Shape its own **beamforming feedback** (compressed BF report angles) | *none* — generated in closed PHY blob | This is the actual VEIL waveform | **CANNOT** |
|
||||
| Choose/replace its own **precoding matrix** | *none* — PHY-internal | Yes, but inaccessible | **CANNOT** |
|
||||
| Modify the Wi-Fi PHY / `esp-phy-lib` | *none* — object-only, NDA | — | **CANNOT** |
|
||||
|
||||
Bottom line: the ESP32 **cannot scramble its own WiFi beamforming feedback**, but
|
||||
it **can** (a) tell an AP-side shield *when* to act, and (b) drive an **external
|
||||
passive surface** that scrambles the channel in the *sensing* direction. The
|
||||
latter is the only honest sense in which an ESP32 "helps scramble" a signal, and
|
||||
it does so without the ESP32 emitting any RF of its own.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The three legitimate roles
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. `veil_sensing_detector/` — sensing-solicitation detector (strongest, clearly compliant)
|
||||
Uses the CSI callback (+ promiscuous RX) to estimate how often the node is being
|
||||
sounded/solicited, and raises an engage **trigger** (GPIO / MQTT / ESP-NOW) that
|
||||
tells the *AP-side* VEIL shield (running the portable `../core/veil_shield.c`) to
|
||||
turn on. Pure observe-plus-control-signal; the ESP32 shapes nothing on air. This
|
||||
is the role we would actually build first.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. `veil_ris_controller/` — external RIS driver (the honest "help scramble")
|
||||
Drives a **reconfigurable intelligent surface** over GPIO/SPI. Following the
|
||||
PrivISAC pattern, each surface element has two phase states designed offline so
|
||||
the array response is ~identical in the *communication* direction (throughput
|
||||
preserved) but differs sharply in the *sensing* direction (an eavesdropper's
|
||||
channel is perturbed). The ESP32 is just a keyed pin-driver; the surface is
|
||||
**passive** (re-reflects ambient energy, adds none), which is what keeps this on
|
||||
the compliant side of the jamming line. The switching **schedule is keyed** via
|
||||
the portable core's `veil_rng` (SplitMix64), so an authorized sensor holding the
|
||||
key can reconstruct and tolerate the schedule while an eavesdropper cannot.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. `esp_wifi_80211_tx` action-frame signaling (minor)
|
||||
Not a separate component. The trigger in role 1 could ride an action frame via
|
||||
`esp_wifi_80211_tx` instead of GPIO/MQTT/ESP-NOW. Useful only as a transport for
|
||||
the control signal — it does **not** touch beamforming feedback.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Not recommended: decoy / cover-traffic
|
||||
|
||||
One could have the ESP32 emit extra frames (via `esp_wifi_80211_tx`) to inject
|
||||
motion-like or clutter-like variation into an observer's CSI ("cover traffic").
|
||||
**We do not implement this and do not recommend it.** It is (a) **legally
|
||||
sensitive** — deliberately adding channel-occupying transmissions to degrade
|
||||
another party's reception sits close to the *jamming* line and can violate
|
||||
radio regulations depending on rate, power, and intent; and (b) **low-value** —
|
||||
it costs airtime, harms your own network, and a determined observer can often
|
||||
filter periodic decoys. It is documented here only so the option is explicitly
|
||||
weighed and rejected in favor of the passive-RIS approach (role 2), which
|
||||
perturbs the *sensing* direction without occupying spectrum.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Build notes
|
||||
|
||||
Both components are standard ESP-IDF components (`idf_component_register`) and
|
||||
are intended to be dropped into an ESP-IDF project's `components/` (or referenced
|
||||
via `EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS`). `veil_ris_controller` compiles the portable core
|
||||
(`../core/veil_shield.c`) directly to reuse `veil_rng`. They **build** as
|
||||
skeletons; they do not run — every RF/GPIO/SPI/network path is a `TODO(hw)` stub.

# Building the VEIL Nexmon patch — **UNTESTED**
|
||||
|
||||
> **This procedure has never been run.** It has not been built with the Nexmon
|
||||
> toolchain, not flashed, and not captured on air. Addresses/symbols in
|
||||
> `patch/veil_patch.c` are placeholders (one is intentionally invalid,
|
||||
> `0xDEAD0000`) so it will **not** produce a flashable image as-is. This file
|
||||
> documents *how it would build* so a hardware operator with real silicon can
|
||||
> take it forward. `SYNTHETIC / L0`, per CLAUDE.md.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites (host, not in this repo)
|
||||
|
||||
- A Linux host (Nexmon expects an x86_64 Ubuntu-like build host) with the
|
||||
Broadcom-flavored ARM toolchain Nexmon downloads/uses, plus `git`, `make`,
|
||||
`gcc-arm-none-eabi`, `flex`, `bison`, `libisl`, `automake`.
|
||||
- Nexmon checked out **outside** this repo (do not vendor it here):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/seemoo-lab/nexmon.git
|
||||
cd nexmon
|
||||
source setup_env.sh # sets NEXMON_ROOT, toolchain paths
|
||||
make # builds libISL / firmwares tooling
|
||||
```
|
||||
- The target firmware blob present on the device: BCM43455c0
|
||||
(`brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin`), version **7_45_189** (Cypress) or 7_45_154
|
||||
(Raspbian). Do **not** commit the blob or any extracted symbols/ROM to RuView.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where this patch would live in the Nexmon tree
|
||||
|
||||
Nexmon builds per chip/firmware under `patches/<chip>/<fwver>/<name>/`. This
|
||||
adapter would be a Nexmon project, e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$NEXMON_ROOT/patches/bcm43455c0/7_45_189/veil/
|
||||
├── Makefile # copy of an existing nexmon patch Makefile (e.g. nexmon_csi's)
|
||||
├── src/
|
||||
│ ├── veil_patch.c # <- symlink/copy of firmware/privshield/nexmon/patch/veil_patch.c
|
||||
│ ├── veil_shield.c # <- from firmware/privshield/core/ (compiled into the patch)
|
||||
│ └── veil_shield.h # <- from firmware/privshield/core/
|
||||
└── ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Keep the RuView copies canonical; the Nexmon tree gets copies/symlinks so the
|
||||
core stays byte-identical to `../core/`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Linking the portable core (MCU-friendly)
|
||||
|
||||
The core is `no_std`-style C99: no malloc, no libc I/O, only `<math.h>`
|
||||
(`sinf`/`cosf`/`sqrtf`/`sqrt`). To build it into the patch:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Add `veil_shield.c` to the patch `Makefile`'s object list (alongside
|
||||
`patch.o`/`wrapper.o`), so it compiles with the same ARM flags.
|
||||
2. Ensure the firmware provides `sinf`/`cosf`/`sqrtf`. **TODO(hw):** Broadcom
|
||||
firmware may not export libm. Options, in order of preference:
|
||||
- link a small `libm`/`compiler-rt` for `arm-none-eabi`;
|
||||
- or replace the trig with a fixed-point / CORDIC Givens rotation
|
||||
(`TODO(reverse-engineer)`), which also avoids float on parts without an FPU.
|
||||
3. All VEIL working storage is stack-bounded (`VEIL_MAX_FINE`, `CACHE` in the
|
||||
core) — no heap is introduced on-chip.
|
||||
|
||||
## Build
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd $NEXMON_ROOT/patches/bcm43455c0/7_45_189/veil
|
||||
make # produces the patched brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Before `make` can succeed you must first resolve every `TODO(reverse-engineer)`
|
||||
in `veil_patch.c`:
|
||||
|
||||
- replace `0xDEAD0000` and the `wlc_sendmgmt_veil_target` symbol with the real,
|
||||
disassembled target address/symbol for 7_45_189;
|
||||
- implement `veil_bfr_unpack_fine` / `veil_bfr_pack_fine` (the angle bit-field
|
||||
codec) and the report-body offset/length;
|
||||
- confirm the compressed-beamforming report is assembled in ARM on this chip
|
||||
(else move to hook candidate #2/#3 — see README).
|
||||
|
||||
## Flash (Raspberry Pi, on-device)
|
||||
|
||||
**TODO(hw) — untested.** Typical Nexmon flow on the Pi:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# back up stock firmware first!
|
||||
sudo cp /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin ~/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin.orig
|
||||
|
||||
sudo cp brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin
|
||||
# (some setups also need the matching *.clm_blob / nexmon's own copy path)
|
||||
|
||||
sudo rmmod brcmfmac && sudo modprobe brcmfmac # reload driver with new firmware
|
||||
dmesg | tail # confirm firmware loaded
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Push the session key at runtime (matches the IOCTL stub in `veil_patch.c`):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# TODO(hw): nexutil vendor-IOCTL id and payload format are placeholders
|
||||
nexutil -s<VEIL_IOCTL_SET_KEY> -b -l8 -v<base64-8-byte-key>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Recovery:** if WiFi breaks, restore the backup blob and reload the driver.
|
||||
A bad flashpatch offset can knock out WiFi until you reflash stock firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
## Validation you can honestly do (still not `MEASURED` firmware)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Host unit test of the math** (already green in this repo):
|
||||
`cd ../../core && make test`.
|
||||
2. **Read-back on hardware** with `nexmon_csi`/Wi-BFI: capture the report with
|
||||
and without the patch and check the fine subspace changed while SNR/norm is
|
||||
preserved. This validates the transform end-to-end but is a *receiver*
|
||||
observation, not proof the TX hook is robust.
|
||||
3. Only a captured device runtime log showing the shaped report leaving *this*
|
||||
node, plus receiver-side recovery with the shared key, would move any claim
|
||||
from `SYNTHETIC`/`CLAIMED` toward `MEASURED` (roadmap P5).

## Feasibility grade: **C** (research-grade, partial, unproven)
|
||||
|
||||
| Sub-path | Grade | Why |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Read** the compressed BF feedback | **A** (proven by others) | `nexmon_csi` extracts CSI, and Wi-BFI parses the compressed-beamforming *angles* straight from captured action frames — no firmware change at all. The report content is observable today. |
|
||||
| **Write / shape** the transmitted report | **C / C-** | The report is generated by the proprietary **D11** real-time core, not the ARM firmware Nexmon comfortably patches. The hook point is deep, chip- and firmware-version-specific, and unverified here. Plausible, not demonstrated. |
|
||||
|
||||
Grade **C** reflects *this* deliverable's goal — shaping the **TX** report. The
|
||||
read side is a solved problem and is graded only to contrast honestly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Why the write path is hard (the core honesty point)
|
||||
|
||||
Broadcom/Cypress chips put all time-critical 802.11 MAC/PHY work on the **D11
|
||||
core**, a proprietary microcontroller running a programmable state machine
|
||||
("ucode"). Published reverse-engineering of these chips reports that the D11
|
||||
generates the **VHT/HE compressed beamforming report ~10 µs after the NDP**, with
|
||||
its contents fetched from an **internal memory updated directly by the hardware**
|
||||
on NDP reception. In other words, the angles VEIL wants to touch are staged and
|
||||
emitted inside the ucode/PHY path on a microsecond deadline — *below* the ARM
|
||||
"wl" driver firmware where Nexmon's C hooks (`__attribute__((at(addr, ...)))`
|
||||
flashpatches / branch hooks) live most reliably. Reaching them means either a
|
||||
D11-ucode patch (needs the D11 assembler and SHM/template-RAM layout) or catching
|
||||
the report while the ARM path still assembles the action-frame body — if it does
|
||||
so on this chip at all. Both are `TODO(reverse-engineer)`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Target chip(s)
|
||||
|
||||
Primary: **BCM43455c0** (Raspberry Pi 3B+/4B; also RPi Zero 2 W), firmware
|
||||
**7_45_154** (Raspbian) or **7_45_189** (Cypress) — the best-documented,
|
||||
most-reproducible Nexmon target, and one of the four chips `nexmon_csi` already
|
||||
supports. Secondary candidates that `nexmon_csi` also supports: **BCM4339**
|
||||
(Nexus 5), **BCM4358** (Nexus 6P), **BCM4366c0** (Asus RT-AC86U). We scope the
|
||||
skeleton to BCM43455c0 / 7_45_189 and leave the others as build-matrix `TODO`s.
|
||||
|
||||
Caveat: the RPi BCM43455c0 is an **802.11ac (VHT)** single-stream part; its own
|
||||
*transmit* beamforming/sounding activity as a beamformee is limited. The
|
||||
skeleton targets the **VHT compressed beamforming report** action-frame path;
|
||||
whether this chip emits enough to shape in practice is itself a `TODO(hw)`
|
||||
question.
|
||||
|
||||
## Hook-point candidates (all `TODO(reverse-engineer)`)
|
||||
|
||||
Ordered most-tractable → deepest. Addresses are **placeholders** — real offsets
|
||||
come from disassembling the specific firmware blob and cross-checking the Nexmon
|
||||
symbol tables (`wl_ram.elf` / IDA); none are known-good here.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **ARM action-frame TX assembly (best first target).** If the "wl" driver
|
||||
assembles the VHT Compressed Beamforming Report action-frame *body* in ARM
|
||||
firmware before handing it to the D11 (function family around
|
||||
`wlc_txbf_*` / a `wlc_send*mgmt`/action path), a branch hook there could
|
||||
locate the report's fine-angle block and call `veil_shield_apply` in place.
|
||||
Cheapest if it exists on this chip.
|
||||
2. **ARM → D11 TX descriptor / template handoff.** Hook where the driver stages
|
||||
a frame into the D11 TX FIFO / template RAM (`wlc_d11hdrs` / `wlc_txfifo`
|
||||
region) and rewrite the angle bytes there. Requires knowing the exact
|
||||
template-RAM offset of the report body.
|
||||
3. **D11 ucode patch (deepest).** Patch the ucode routine that copies angles
|
||||
from the hardware-updated internal memory into the outgoing report, applying
|
||||
the rotation in D11 SHM. Needs the D11 assembler and PHY/SHM map; highest
|
||||
fidelity, highest effort, most fragile across firmware versions.
|
||||
|
||||
The skeleton wires candidate **#1** and leaves #2/#3 documented but unimplemented.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is realistic
|
||||
|
||||
- **Realistic now:** verify VEIL's *effect* by reading — capture the shaped vs.
|
||||
unshaped report with `nexmon_csi`/Wi-BFI and confirm the fine subspace changed
|
||||
while energy (SNR/norm) is preserved. This validates the math, not the TX hook.
|
||||
- **Realistic with serious RE effort:** candidate #1, on one pinned firmware, as
|
||||
a demo — partial, brittle, chip-specific.
|
||||
- **Not realistic as a portable product:** a clean, firmware-version-stable TX
|
||||
report-shaping patch across Broadcom parts. Treat as research.
|
||||
|
||||
## Risk / honesty
|
||||
|
||||
- Wrong flashpatch offsets can **brick the WiFi blob** (recoverable by
|
||||
reflashing stock firmware, but real).
|
||||
- Regulatory: the transform is energy-preserving and rides standards-marked
|
||||
spatial-mapping freedom, but any TX-path firmware patch on a certified radio is
|
||||
**outside the device's certification** — bench/anechoic use only.
|
||||
- Firmware blobs are proprietary; do **not** commit extracted firmware, symbols,
|
||||
or ROM dumps to this repo.

# HDL notes — `veil_rot` (TX) / `veil_unrot` (RX)
|
||||
|
||||
> **STATUS: SYNTHETIC / L0 — design notes only. No RTL is shipped here, none has
|
||||
> been synthesized, placed, routed, or run on an FPGA.** This describes the
|
||||
> Verilog blocks that *would* apply the keyed unitary in the openwifi datapath.
|
||||
> Every concrete number (offsets, latency, resource use) is `TODO(hdl)` until a
|
||||
> real build exists. **Orthogonal transform ⇒ transmit energy preserved:
|
||||
> compliant, never jamming.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Where the blocks sit
|
||||
|
||||
openwifi's baseband IQ moves as **AXI-Stream** between blocks and its control is
|
||||
**AXI-Lite** ([FPGA module design][fmd]). The two new blocks are AXI-Stream
|
||||
pass-through filters with an AXI-Lite slave for the key schedule.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
TX (protector):
|
||||
openofdm_tx ──AXI-S(IQ)──► [ veil_rot ] ──AXI-S(IQ)──► tx_intf ──► AD9361 DAC
|
||||
▲ AXI-Lite (key, coeff RAM)
|
||||
└── veil_openwifi.c
|
||||
|
||||
RX (legitimate STA, shares key):
|
||||
AD9361 ADC ──► rx_intf ──AXI-S──► [ veil_unrot ] ──AXI-S──► openofdm_rx (FFT → chan est)
|
||||
▲ AXI-Lite
|
||||
└── veil_openwifi.c
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`veil_unrot` may equivalently sit **in the frequency domain**, right after the
|
||||
FFT and **before channel estimation**, if a per-subcarrier `Q^H` is cheaper to
|
||||
apply there. Same AXI-Lite contract either way.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why a *new* block is required (honesty)
|
||||
|
||||
openwifi is **SISO 802.11a/g/n** and has **no explicit-beamforming / spatial-
|
||||
mapping stage** and **no compressed-BF-report generation** — the two-antenna app
|
||||
note is RX-only capture, not a TX spatial mapper ([iq_2ant][2ant]). So there is
|
||||
no existing `Q` matrix to modify; `veil_rot`/`veil_unrot` **introduce** the
|
||||
spatial-mapping stage. Two realizable RTL scopes:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Scope A — 1×1 per-subcarrier phase/rotation (lower effort).** Treat the
|
||||
rotation as operating over a **synthetic vector** formed from the fine
|
||||
subspace of the per-packet subcarrier response (a stream of `N` IQ elements
|
||||
the block buffers), applying the core's Givens schedule across those elements.
|
||||
Single TX chain; no board change. This is enough to *scramble the CSI a
|
||||
sniffer estimates* and to demonstrate keyed invert at RX. It is **not** true
|
||||
spatial MIMO.
|
||||
- **Scope B — 2×2 true spatial mapping (higher effort, the A-capability demo).**
|
||||
Enable the **second TX chain** (AD9361 has 2 DACs on fmcomms2/3) and apply a
|
||||
keyed 2×2 unitary across the two streams — a genuine transmit spatial mapping
|
||||
the standard marks "not restricted." Needs a Vivado top-level rebuild wiring
|
||||
the 2nd DAC and the extra AXI-S lane. `TODO(hdl)`.
|
||||
|
||||
## `veil_rot` datapath
|
||||
|
||||
The core applies `passes` **Givens rotations** `G(i,j,θ)` composed into `Q`
|
||||
(`../core/veil_shield.c`). In hardware we apply the *same schedule* to the on-air
|
||||
sample vector, so both ends derive identical coefficients from the shared key —
|
||||
no matrix is transmitted.
|
||||
|
||||
Per Givens op on elements `(i, j)` with programmed `(cos, sin)` in Q1.15:
|
||||
```
|
||||
v_i' = cos*v_i - sin*v_j
|
||||
v_j' = sin*v_i + cos*v_j // complex IQ: apply to I and Q lanes
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Coefficients arrive from `veil_openwifi.c` as the packed `(i, j, cos, sin)`
|
||||
schedule (2 AXI-Lite words per pass; packing defined in `veil_openwifi.c`).
|
||||
- `veil_unrot` applies the schedule **in reverse with negated sin** (`sin → -sin`,
|
||||
i.e. `Gᵀ`), matching `veil_shield_recover`. A `CTRL.inverse` bit selects it.
|
||||
- Fixed point: openwifi baseband IQ is 16-bit I / 16-bit Q; coeffs are signed
|
||||
Q1.15. `TODO(hdl)`: guard-bit / rounding so the composed rotation stays
|
||||
norm-preserving to spec and never clips (clipping would break the
|
||||
energy-preservation invariant — must be verified, not assumed).
|
||||
|
||||
## AXI-Lite register map (must match `veil_openwifi.c`)
|
||||
|
||||
| Offset | Name | Meaning |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `0x00` | `CTRL` | bit0 enable, bit1 inverse (`veil_unrot`), bit2 load |
|
||||
| `0x04` | `KEY_LO` | session key [31:0] |
|
||||
| `0x08` | `KEY_HI` | session key [63:32] |
|
||||
| `0x0C` | `NDIM` | on-air fine-block dimension `N` (≤ 64) |
|
||||
| `0x10` | `PASSES` | number of Givens passes (default 96) |
|
||||
| `0x14` | `COEFF_ADDR` | write index into coeff RAM |
|
||||
| `0x18` | `COEFF_DATA` | packed `{j,i}` then `{sin,cos}` (2 words/pass) |
|
||||
| `0x1C` | `STATUS` | bit0 ready, bit1 applied, bit2 err |
|
||||
|
||||
`TODO(hdl)`: regenerate this from the block's `*_s_axi.v` once written (cf.
|
||||
`openofdm_tx`'s 6 AXI-Lite registers at `ip/openofdm_tx/src/openofdm_tx_s_axi.v`)
|
||||
and reconcile any offset changes back into `veil_openwifi.c`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Timing / integration risks (call them out, don't hide them)
|
||||
|
||||
- **802.11 SIFS budget.** The block adds pipeline latency between IFFT and DAC;
|
||||
it must not violate the tight TX timing openwifi maintains in `tx_intf`.
|
||||
`TODO(hdl)`: measure added cycles; keep within budget or absorb in existing
|
||||
FIFO slack.
|
||||
- **On-FPGA schedule vs. per-packet coeff load.** For per-*packet* keying, either
|
||||
compute the SplitMix64 schedule on-FPGA from `(key, packet_counter)` or
|
||||
double-buffer the coeff RAM. `TODO(hdl)`.
|
||||
- **Bit-exactness with the core.** The on-FPGA (or shim-fed) `(cos,sin)` must
|
||||
reproduce the core's schedule so `veil_unrot` inverts exactly. First gate is a
|
||||
**self-loopback** IQ test (`veil_rot → veil_unrot`, assert recovered == input
|
||||
within Q1.15 round-off) using openwifi's existing packet/IQ self-loopback
|
||||
facility ([self-loopback app note][loop]). Passing loopback is a correctness
|
||||
gate, **not** a defense `MEASURED` claim.
|
||||
|
||||
## Build
|
||||
|
||||
`TODO(hdl)`: add `veil_rot`/`veil_unrot` as `openwifi-hw` IP, instantiate in the
|
||||
board block design, and rebuild the bitstream with Vivado per the openwifi-hw
|
||||
build flow ([openwifi-hw][hw]). No bitstream is produced from this directory.

# P5 measurement protocol — openwifi VEIL end-to-end
|

|

> **STATUS: SYNTHETIC / L0 — this is a PLAN, not a result. No hardware has been
|
||||
> run; no capture, log, or number in this repo is real.** This document defines

> orthogonal, energy-preserving; never jamming.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Roadmap position
|
||||
|
||||
This is roadmap **P5**: the two-node hardware measurement that turns the P4
|
||||
build scaffolds into a `MEASURED` defense result. Prerequisite gates (all on real
|
||||
silicon, all currently unmet): a bitstream with `veil_rot`/`veil_unrot`
|
||||
(`HDL_NOTES.md`), a driver loading `veil_openwifi.c`, and a passing on-FPGA
|
||||
**self-loopback** correctness test.
|
||||
|
||||
## Topology
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[ Protector AP ] over the air [ Legitimate STA ]
|
||||
openwifi node A ───────────────────────────────────► openwifi node B
|
||||
veil_rot: Q(key) engaged │ veil_unrot: Q^H(key)
|
||||
│ (shares key with A)

[ Attacker sniffer ]
|
||||
commodity NIC, monitor mode
|
||||
Wi-BFI CSI/BF-feedback extraction
|
||||
+ re-ID model
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The attacker is **passive** (monitor capture only). Nothing in this test
|
||||
transmits to interfere with any station.
|
||||
|
||||
## Hardware list
|
||||
|
||||
| Role | Hardware | Software |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Protector AP (A) | Zynq-7000 + AD9361 FMC (ZC706+fmcomms2/3, or ADRV9361-Z7035) | openwifi image + `veil_rot` bitstream + `veil_openwifi.c` |
|
||||
| Legitimate STA (B) | second identical openwifi node | openwifi image + `veil_unrot` bitstream + `veil_openwifi.c`, same key as A |
|
||||
| Attacker | host + Wi-BFI-supported Wi-Fi NIC in monitor mode | Wi-BFI ([arxiv 2309.04408][wibfi]) + re-ID model |
|
||||
| Bench | shielded room or wired attenuator path preferred | `iperf3`, power meter / board rail sense |
|
||||
|
||||
Key agreement A↔B is out-of-band for the demo (pre-shared session key);
|
||||
per-packet keying uses `(key, packet_counter)` as in `HDL_NOTES.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Procedure
|
||||
|
||||
Run every condition **twice**: VEIL **OFF** (baseline) and **ON**. Same
|
||||
positions, same MCS, same duration, same seed for the attacker model.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Correctness precondition (not a defense claim).** Confirm on-FPGA
|
||||
self-loopback recovers IQ within Q1.15 round-off, and A→B link works with
|
||||
`veil_unrot` engaged. Capture the console log.
|
||||
2. **Attacker capture.** Sniffer records CSI / beamforming-feedback for a fixed
|
||||
traffic pattern A→B, OFF then ON. Save raw captures (pcap + Wi-BFI output).
|
||||
3. **Re-ID metric.** Run the same re-identification / fingerprinting model on the
|
||||
OFF and ON captures. Report accuracy and confusion vs. the **chance / mean
|
||||
baseline** (per CLAUDE.md, a defense claim needs the baseline and a
|
||||
leakage-free held-out split — never report bare accuracy).
|
||||
4. **Throughput (near-free check).** `iperf3` A↔B, OFF vs. ON, both directions.
|
||||
Expected: ON ≈ OFF (the receiver inverts the rotation). Save `iperf3 --json`.
|
||||
5. **Energy / compliance.** Record per-frame TX energy OFF vs. ON (rail sense or
|
||||
power meter) to substantiate the "energy-preserving / not jamming" claim, and
|
||||
spectrum/mask conformance if a spectrum analyzer is available.
|
||||
|
||||
## Metrics reported
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | OFF | ON | Requirement for a pass |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Attacker re-ID accuracy vs. chance | baseline | — | collapses toward chance ON |
|
||||
| iperf3 throughput A↔B | baseline | — | ON within a few % of OFF |
|
||||
| Per-frame TX energy | baseline | — | ON ≈ OFF (orthogonality holds on-air) |
|
||||
| Spectral mask conformance | pass | — | still conformant ON |
|
||||
|
||||
## Required witness artifact (CLAUDE.md gate)
|
||||
|
||||
Before **any** `MEASURED` claim, this directory (or the P5 evidence path) must
|
||||
contain a **captured real-silicon log**, not a build or simulator output:
|
||||
|
||||
- Boot/runtime console log of both openwifi nodes showing the `veil_rot` /
|
||||
`veil_unrot` bitstream loaded and `veil_openwifi.c` programming the session
|
||||
(register writes / STATUS ready), with timestamps and board identifiers.
|
||||
- The self-loopback correctness log (step 1).
|
||||
- Raw attacker captures (pcap + Wi-BFI output) for OFF and ON, plus the exact
|
||||
re-ID reproducer command and its output.
|
||||
- `iperf3 --json` for OFF and ON; energy trace for OFF and ON.
|
||||
- A manifest tying each artifact to the git commit of the RTL, driver, and shim
|
||||
used, so the result is reproducible.
|
||||
|
||||
Label the result `MEASURED` **only** with all of the above captured from real
|
||||
hardware. A successful Vivado build, a Verilator/QEMU run, or the host
|
||||
`veil_openwifi.c` self-test is **not** hardware evidence and must stay
|
||||
`SYNTHETIC`. No log in this repo today — do not fabricate one.

# VEIL protector — openwifi (Xilinx Zynq + AD9361, open PHY/MAC)
|
||||
|
||||
> **STATUS: SYNTHETIC / L0 — build-only scaffold. No hardware, no flash, no
|
||||
> capture. Nothing here has run on silicon.** Per CLAUDE.md, none of this is a
|
||||
> `MEASURED` result and none may be claimed as working. Files are honest
|

|
||||
> keyed rotation is orthogonal (energy-preserving) and shapes only this node's
|
||||
> own standards-conformant emission. Never jamming.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Feasibility grade: **B (capability ceiling A; effort D)**
|
||||
|
||||
openwifi is the **only** platform in this tree where a true end-to-end keyed
|
||||
rotation *and its inverse* are physically reachable, because it is the only one
|
||||
that exposes the full open PHY/MAC on FPGA: `openofdm_tx`/`openofdm_rx`,
|
||||
`tx_intf`/`rx_intf`, and `side_ch`, all AXI-Lite-programmable from a Linux
|
||||
driver ([FPGA module design][fmd], [openwifi overview][ov]). That is the **A**
|
||||
capability ceiling.
|
||||
|
||||
It is graded **B**, not A, for two honest reasons that make it the
|
||||
highest-*effort* path:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **openwifi has no native explicit transmit beamforming.** It ships as an
|
||||
802.11a/g/n **single-spatial-stream (SISO)** design. It does not run NDP
|
||||
sounding, does not compute an SVD `V` matrix, and does not emit a compressed
|
||||
beamforming report. The two-antenna app note is **RX-only** coherent capture
|
||||
(`side_ch_ctl wh3h11`), not a MIMO transmit spatial mapper ([iq_2ant][2ant]).
|
||||
So there is no shipped compressed-BF-report to obfuscate and no shipped
|
||||
spatial-mapping matrix `Q` to left-multiply — both must be **added in HDL**.
|
||||
2. Reaching a true two-stream demo needs a **second TX chain** (the AD9361 on
|
||||
fmcomms2/3 has two DACs) plus a new spatial-mapping RTL stage and a Vivado
|
||||
rebuild — days-to-weeks of FPGA work, not a driver patch.
|
||||
|
||||
Because of (1), on openwifi VEIL is realized as the **client-transparent
|
||||
per-packet keyed unitary** (LeakyBeam family) applied at the TX spatial-mapping
|
||||
stage, with the legitimate STA (a second openwifi node sharing the key)
|
||||
inverting it — **not** as obfuscation of a compressed-BF report the hardware
|
||||
never produces. This keeps the claim honest: we rotate the *transmitted spatial
|
||||
mapping* so a sniffer's per-subcarrier channel estimate `H·Q(key)` is scrambled,
|
||||
and the keyed receiver applies `Q(key)^H` before channel estimation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Exact insertion points
|
||||
|
||||
The rotation is a keyed orthogonal (unitary) matrix `Q(key, session)` computed
|
||||
by the portable core (`../core/veil_shield.{h,c}`), the same SplitMix64 schedule
|
||||
used everywhere, so both ends derive the identical `Q` from the shared key.
|
||||
|
||||
**TX (protector) — FPGA, new block `veil_rot`:**
|
||||
Insert on the baseband IQ AXI-Stream path **between `openofdm_tx` (post-IFFT,
|
||||
post-CP) and `tx_intf`** (which feeds the AD9361 DAC). `veil_rot` left-multiplies
|
||||
the per-subcarrier / per-stream sample vector by `Q(key)`. Its coefficients (or a
|
||||
key seed + on-FPGA schedule) are written over **AXI-Lite** from the driver shim
|
||||
using the standard openwifi `iowrite32(value, base_addr + reg)` idiom
|
||||
([tx_intf driver][txintf]). See `HDL_NOTES.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
**RX (legitimate STA) — FPGA, new block `veil_unrot`:**
|
||||
Insert **between `rx_intf` (AD9361 ADC) and `openofdm_rx`**, or in the frequency
|
||||
domain immediately after the FFT and **before channel estimation**, applying
|
||||
`Q(key)^H`. Same AXI-Lite programming path.
|
||||
|
||||
**Driver / control plane:** the C shim `veil_openwifi.c` computes the session
|
||||
key schedule via the core and programs the blocks. Real openwifi control idioms:
|
||||
AXI-Lite MMIO from the kernel driver, and the `sdrctl` nl80211-testmode tool /
|
||||
`side_ch_ctl` register pokes for bring-up ([sdrctl/side_ch][ov], [frequent
|
||||
tricks][ft]). Where the exact offsets/bitfields are not yet fixed, the shim
|
||||
marks `TODO(hw)`; RTL specifics are `TODO(hdl)`.
|
||||
|
||||
Doing the rotation in HDL (not the DMA'd payload) is deliberate: it keeps the
|
||||
frame **standards-conformant on the wire** and preserves transmit energy — the
|
||||
"not jamming" invariant the core guarantees by construction (orthogonal `Q`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Two-node measurement plan (the P5 path)
|
||||
|
||||
Three roles produce the first `MEASURED` / P5 result (full protocol +
|
||||
required witness log in `MEASUREMENT.md`):
|
||||
|
||||
- **Protector AP** — openwifi node A, `veil_rot` engaged, TX spatial mapping
|
||||
keyed with the session key.
|
||||
- **Legitimate STA** — openwifi node B, shares the key, `veil_unrot` engaged;
|
||||
should see **near-baseline throughput** (rotation cancels).
|
||||
- **Attacker sniffer** — a commodity Wi-Fi NIC running **Wi-BFI** / monitor
|
||||
capture, extracting the per-subcarrier CSI / beamforming feedback and running
|
||||
the re-ID model ([Wi-BFI][wibfi]).
|
||||
|
||||
Headline metric: **re-identification accuracy off vs. on** at the attacker
|
||||
(target: collapse toward chance) **while** iperf throughput A↔B stays near
|
||||
baseline and per-frame energy is unchanged. No number here is real until a
|
||||
captured on-silicon log exists.
|
||||
|
||||
## Bill of materials (target, not procured)
|
||||
|
||||
- 2× Xilinx Zynq-7000 board with AD9361 FMC (e.g. ZC706 + fmcomms2/3, or
|
||||
ADRV9361-Z7035 / Antenna-SDR), openwifi image per the openwifi build docs.
|
||||
- 1× attacker host + Wi-BFI-capable NIC (per Wi-BFI's supported list).
|
||||
- Vivado for the FPGA rebuild that adds `veil_rot` / `veil_unrot`.

||||

* HDL_NOTES.md and are marked TODO(hdl) there.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* ROLE (honest): this shim runs on the protector AP and on the legitimate STA.
|
||||
* - Protector: derive the per-session keyed unitary Q(key) from the core and
|

* program the veil_rot block that left-multiplies the transmit spatial
|

* The transform is orthogonal, so transmit energy is preserved: compliant,

* ioread32(base + reg), matching driver/tx_intf/tx_intf.c reg_write/reg_read.
|
||||
* - Coefficients are quantized to the fixed-point width the datapath uses
|
||||
* (openwifi baseband IQ is 16-bit I / 16-bit Q); see VEIL_ROT_FRAC below.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* This file is written to compile in two modes:
|
||||
* - Host/CI (default): __KERNEL__ undefined -> MMIO is stubbed to a local
|
||||
* shadow buffer so the key-schedule + quantization logic is unit-testable
|
||||
* with no hardware. This is the ONLY path exercised today.

Legend: **US** = userspace-reachable today · **DP** = needs driver patch ·
|
||||
**FW** = needs firmware patch (blob-blocked).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. TX antenna-map perturbation — **US** (feasible)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Daemon:** `veil_set_tx_antenna_mask()` in `veil_shieldd.c`.
|
||||
- **Kernel path:** `nl80211` → `cfg80211_ops.set_antenna()` → driver
|
||||
`.set_antenna` (e.g. `mt7915_set_antenna`, `ath9k` `set_antenna`).
|
||||
- **Attributes:** `NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY`, `NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX`,
|
||||
`NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_RX`.
|
||||
- **Constraints:** many drivers require the phy DOWN and accept only symmetric
|
||||
masks; validate per driver. Coarse static spatial-mapping change, not the keyed
|
||||
rotation. Fully standards-compliant.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. NDP sounding-cadence jitter — **US (indirect)**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Daemon:** `veil_randomize_sounding_cadence()` / `veil_next_cadence_ms()`.
|
||||
The schedule is derived from the session key via the core SplitMix64 so the
|
||||
paired receiver can anticipate it (not random spraying).
|
||||
- **Real lever:** hostapd `ctrl_iface` (UNIX socket `/var/run/hostapd/<iface>`):
|
||||
`SET he_su_beamformer …` / rewrite `vht_capab` `[SOUNDING-DIMENSION-n]` /
|
||||
toggle `[SU-BEAMFORMER]`, then `RECONFIGURE`. Config keys documented in
|
||||
`hostapd.conf`.
|
||||
- **`TODO(hw)`:** there is **no** `nl80211` "set sounding interval" command; the
|
||||
per-NDP timer is in driver/firmware. We can only jitter the *offered* cadence.
|
||||
The `ctrl_iface` write itself is not yet wired (function currently only
|
||||
computes `ms`).
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. MU-MIMO group shuffling — **FW** (blob-blocked)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Daemon:** `veil_shuffle_mumimo_groups()` — explicit `-ENOTSUP` no-op.
|
||||
- **Where it lives:** MU group formation + per-group steering matrices are
|
||||
computed in the WiFi MCU firmware on mt76 (mt7915) and all ath1x parts.
|
||||
- **`TODO(hw)`:** would require `NL80211_CMD_VENDOR` with a driver-specific
|
||||
`NL80211_ATTR_VENDOR_ID` / `NL80211_ATTR_VENDOR_SUBCMD` /
|
||||
`NL80211_ATTR_VENDOR_DATA` that upstream mt76/ath do **not** define, plus a
|
||||
firmware change to honor an externally supplied grouping. Not reachable without
|
||||
both a driver and firmware patch.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Per-packet keyed unitary (the core VEIL transform) — **FW** (blob-blocked)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Daemon:** `veil_apply_keyed_rotation()` → `veil_shield_apply(fine, n, key,
|
||||
passes)` from the portable core. Orthogonal / energy-preserving (the
|
||||
"not jamming" invariant, checked via `veil_l2_norm` before/after).
|
||||
- **What a full path must touch:**
|
||||
- **mt76 (mt7915):** the MCU firmware stage that builds the compressed
|
||||
beamforming report (φ/ψ angles) or applies the steering/precoder Q to the
|
||||
LTF spatial mapping. A firmware patch would call the rotation on the fine
|
||||
subspace *before* the report is emitted / precoder applied. The driver
|
||||
(`mt7915/mcu.c`) would ferry the key/passes down via a new MCU command.
|
||||
- **ath9k (DP, best open case):** the static spatial-mapping matrix is set via
|
||||
`AR_PHY_*` registers in the open PHY init; a driver patch could apply a keyed
|
||||
*static* Q there. This is coarser than a true per-packet report edit but is
|
||||
the most credible OpenWRT-adjacent route (older 802.11n hardware only).
|
||||
- **ath10k/ath11k/ath12k:** report generation + precoder are entirely
|
||||
firmware-side with no open firmware (ath11k/ath12k) — not patchable.
|
||||
- **`TODO(hw)`:** on OpenWRT there is **no** userspace/`mac80211` hook that hands
|
||||
the pre-precoder V/steering buffer to the daemon before TX. Reaching it needs
|
||||
the driver+firmware patch above, or use the **openwifi (FPGA)** / **Nexmon
|
||||
(Broadcom)** adapters, which expose the datapath. The daemon only proves the
|
||||
math is invariant; nothing goes on air.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Sensing-solicitation (NDPA) detection — **US/DP** (partial)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Daemon:** `veil_event_cb()` on `NL80211_CMD_FRAME`.
|
||||
- **Real path:** `NL80211_CMD_REGISTER_FRAME` to subscribe to specific
|
||||
management action categories, delivered as `NL80211_CMD_FRAME` with
|
||||
`NL80211_ATTR_FRAME`. Classify VHT/HE compressed beamforming action
|
||||
(categories 21 / 30) and NDP Announcement to measure cadence.
|
||||
- **`TODO(hw)`:** commodity drivers do **not** forward raw NDPA to userspace by
|
||||
default; honest external-solicitation detection needs monitor-mode capture or a
|
||||
driver notification that is not guaranteed upstream. Frame parsing is stubbed.

## Summary of the effort boundary
|
||||
|
||||
| Control | Effort to reach full VEIL fidelity |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| TX antenna map | Ready now (US), coarse only |
|
||||
| Sounding cadence jitter | Wire hostapd `ctrl_iface` (US), coarse only |
|
||||
| Static spatial Q | ath9k driver patch (DP) |
|
||||
| MU grouping | driver vendor subcmd + firmware (FW) |
|
||||
| Per-packet keyed rotation | mt76/ath **firmware** patch, or openwifi/Nexmon adapter (FW) |
|
||||
| NDPA detection | frame registration + likely driver patch (US/DP) |

# VEIL — OpenWRT / Linux `mac80211` adapter
|
||||
|
||||
> **STATUS: `SYNTHETIC / L0` — BUILD-ONLY, UNTESTED ON HARDWARE.**
|
||||
> No radio was driven, no CSI captured, no log produced on silicon. Every
|

> claim below is a design/feasibility statement, not a `MEASURED` result. This
|
||||
> adapter uses **compliant waveform controls only** — it never jams and emits
|
||||
> no denial energy.
|
||||
|
||||
This directory is the OpenWRT/`mac80211` platform adapter for the VEIL privacy
|
||||
shield. It links the validated portable core
|
||||
(`../core/veil_shield.{h,c}` — the keyed Givens rotation over the identity-bearing
|
||||
"fine" subspace of 802.11 compressed beamforming feedback) and drives the subset
|
||||
of controls that Linux userspace/`mac80211` can actually reach on commodity APs.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Feasibility grade: **C** (partial — coarse compliant controls only)
|
||||
|
||||
**Why C, not higher.** VEIL's defining action is a *per-packet keyed unitary* on
|
||||
the compressed beamforming-feedback angles (equivalently, a keyed Q on the LTF
|
||||
spatial mapping / precoder). On every mainstream OpenWRT AP chipset
|
||||
(Qualcomm ath10k/ath11k/ath12k, MediaTek mt76 / mt7915), that report is generated
|
||||
and the precoder applied **inside the WiFi MCU firmware blob** — userspace and the
|
||||
open driver never touch the pre-transmit V matrix. So the full keyed-rotation path
|
||||
is **blob-blocked** from OpenWRT. What remains reachable is a set of *coarse*
|
||||
compliant knobs that perturb, but do not cryptographically obfuscate, the CSI a
|
||||
sensor observes. That is a real, honest defense-in-depth layer — hence C, not D —
|
||||
but it is not the full VEIL transform.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why not D.** Some controls genuinely work from userspace (TX antenna map;
|
||||
hostapd-mediated sounding/beamformer capability), and one chipset family
|
||||
(**ath9k**) is open enough at the register level that a *driver patch* could reach
|
||||
the static spatial-mapping matrix — a credible route to B on that specific,
|
||||
older hardware. openwifi (FPGA) and Nexmon (Broadcom) are the routes to the full
|
||||
A-grade keyed rotation, but those are **separate adapters**, not OpenWRT.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## What is FEASIBLE vs. BLOB-BLOCKED from OpenWRT
|
||||
|
||||
| VEIL control | Reachable from OpenWRT? | Mechanism (real API / knob) | Notes |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **TX antenna-map perturbation** | ✅ Feasible | `NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY` + `NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX` / `_RX` | Coarse static spatial-mapping change. Many drivers require phy DOWN and symmetric masks. Compliant. |
|
||||
| **NDP sounding-cadence jitter** | 🟡 Indirect | hostapd `ctrl_iface` (rewrite `SOUNDING-DIMENSION`, toggle `[SU-BEAMFORMER]`, `RECONFIGURE`) | No `nl80211` "set sounding interval" exists; the per-NDP timer lives in driver/firmware. We can only jitter the *offered* capability. |
|
||||
| **Beamformer/beamformee capability toggle** | ✅ Feasible | hostapd `vht_capab` / `he_su_beamformer` etc. | Standards-compliant advertisement. Coarse on/off, not per-packet. |
|
||||
| **Spatial-stream → antenna mapping (static Q)** | 🟡 Driver-patch (ath9k only) | ath9k PHY spatial-mapping registers (`AR_PHY_*`) | Open enough to patch on ath9k; opaque/firmware on ath10k+/mt76. Not a stock userspace knob. |
|
||||
| **MU-MIMO group shuffling** | ❌ Blob-blocked | would need `NL80211_CMD_VENDOR` subcmd that upstream mt76/ath do **not** expose | Group formation + steering matrices computed in MCU firmware. |
|
||||
| **Per-packet keyed unitary on LTF / precoder** | ❌ Blob-blocked | — | The core VEIL transform. Lives in firmware on all commodity AP parts. Requires firmware patch, or use openwifi / Nexmon adapters. |
|
||||
| **Compressed-BF-report angle edit (φ/ψ)** | ❌ Blob-blocked | — | Report is generated in firmware/PHY; not exposed pre-TX on OpenWRT. |
|
||||
| **External sensing-solicitation detection (NDPA cadence)** | 🟡 Partial | `NL80211_CMD_FRAME` + `NL80211_CMD_REGISTER_FRAME`, or monitor-mode capture | Commodity drivers do not forward raw NDPA to userspace by default. |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Best candidate chipsets / drivers
|
||||
|
||||
- **ath9k (Atheros 802.11n)** — *best open target for a driver-side patch.* The
|
||||
most transparent open driver (no per-packet firmware for the datapath), with a
|
||||
long history of PHY register access and the Atheros CSI Tool ecosystem. A
|
||||
static spatial-mapping perturbation and CSI observation are realistic here;
|
||||
full HT beamforming-feedback editing still is not in open code. 802.11n-only.
|
||||
- **mt76 (MediaTek mt7915 / mt7622-mt7615)** — *best-maintained modern open
|
||||
driver* and the most likely place upstream would eventually accept a vendor
|
||||
hook, but beamforming/sounding/MU grouping run in the MCU firmware today, so
|
||||
the keyed path needs a firmware patch (blob-blocked out of the box).
|
||||
- **ath10k / ath11k / ath12k (Qualcomm)** — most capable radios but the most
|
||||
closed: regulatory + beamforming + sounding all firmware-side. ath11k/ath12k
|
||||
have **no open firmware** at all. Worst target for the keyed path.
|
||||
- **openwifi (FPGA SDR) / Nexmon (Broadcom)** — the only routes to the full
|
||||
A-grade keyed rotation; handled by the sibling `../openwifi/` and `../nexmon/`
|
||||
adapters, **not** this OpenWRT one.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:** for OpenWRT specifically, target **ath9k** for a
|
||||
driver-patch proof-of-concept (spatial-mapping + CSI), and **mt76/mt7915** as the
|
||||
strategic modern platform pending a firmware/vendor-subcmd hook.

## Build (host, build-only)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
make core # always works: compiles+links the portable core, no libnl needed
|
||||
make daemon # builds veil_shieldd IF libnl-genl-3.0 dev headers are present
|
||||
make clean
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`make daemon` cleanly **skips** (does not fail) when `libnl-genl-3.0` is absent,
|
||||
printing the required dev packages. On an OpenWRT buildroot use `openwrt.mk`
|
||||
(rename to `Makefile` under `package/utils/veil-shieldd/`), which builds against
|
||||
`libnl-tiny`. See `INTEGRATION.md` for the per-control hook points and exactly
|
||||
what a driver/firmware patch would need to touch.
