Masterthesis Research

[Gwendolyn Scharkowski]

Dear all,

currently i am working on my Master thesis in Germany with the topic  
„Privacy Implication of SSIDs in Probe request“. Therefore i need to  
implement a SSID-Hash-scheme which should be used before the  
authentication of an AP and a station. I am using two Raspberry Pi one  
as a station and one as the AP. Right now i doing a initial testing  
which includes to find out if an AP is able to recognise its hashed  
SSID which is send from the station.
Therefore i am asking you if you are able to support me and maybe give  
me a better understanding of the hostapd and the wpa_supplicant and  
their authentication so that i am able to do those kind of  
implementation?

Attached i send you the reference for the research paper which is  
working on that topic, starting on page 376 Chapter 6.1.

I hope i can reach somebody who can support me.
