Managed Supplicant: State of the Art Wi-Fi Security

Devicescape is a market leader in Wi-Fi security, with hundreds of design wins in leading-edge PCs, handsets, consumer electronics and industrial products, and many millions of devices shipped. The Easy Wi-Fi security module is a Managed Supplicant consisting of an enhanced commercial implementation of wpa_supplicant combined with remote management and premium implementations of WPS and CCX. The Managed Supplicant offers state-of-the-art security and is capable of granting automated, secure access to Wi-Fi networks in the home, business and any number of public services.

Security Capabilities

The Supplicant is suitable for a wide variety of device types and offers complete support for IEEE 802.1X, WPA/WPA2 Personal (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) and WPA/WPA2 Enterprise networks, and includes support for a broad set of EAP methods.

Easy Wi-Fi is a complete package, but also quite modular. If your design is already equipped with a supplicant - especially wpa_supplicant - then the rest of the functionality can often be layered on with minimal effort. Handset Supplicant

Connection Framework

The supplicant's Connection Framework handles set-up, management and termination of Wi-Fi connections. It accomplishes this by automatically selecting the best match from its preferred list of networks based on priority and security levels, and managing the connection process. It will also select alternative matches in cases the first choice fails to connect, thus improving the Wi-Fi connection experience.
