# Wi-Fi Easy ConnectTM (DPP)

[中文]

Wi-Fi Easy ConnectTM, also known as Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP) or Easy Connect, is a provisioning protocol certified by Wi-Fi Alliance. It is a secure and standardized provisioning protocol for configuration of Wi-Fi Devices. With Easy Connect, adding a new device to a network is as simple as scanning a QR Code. This reduces complexity and enhances user experience while onboarding devices without UI like Smart Home and IoT products. Unlike old protocols like Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), Wi-Fi Easy Connect in corporates strong encryption through public key cryptography to ensure networks remain secure as new devices are added.

Easy Connect brings many benefits in the user experience:

> - Simple and intuitive to use; no lengthy instructions to follow for new device setup

> - No need to remember and enter passwords into the device being provisioned

> - Works with electronic or printed QR codes, or human-readable strings

> - Supports both WPA2 and WPA3 networks

Please refer to Wi-Fi Alliance's official page on Easy Connect for more information.

ESP32-C5 supports Enrollee mode of Easy Connect with QR Code as the provisioning method. A display is required to display this QR Code. Users can scan this QR Code using their capable device and provision the ESP32-C5 to their Wi-Fi network. The provisioning device needs to be connected to the AP which need not support Wi-Fi Easy ConnectTM.

Easy Connect is still an evolving protocol. Of known platforms that support the QR Code method are some Android smartphones with Android 10 or higher. To use Easy Connect, no additional App needs to be installed on the supported smartphone.

## Application Examples

- wifi/wifi_easy_connect/dpp-enrollee demonstrates how to configure ESP32-C5 as an enrollee using DPP to securely onboard ESP devices to a network with the help of a QR code and an Android 10+ device.

## API Reference

### Header File

- components/wpa_supplicant/esp_supplicant/include/esp_dpp.h

- This header file can be included with:

  >     #include "esp_dpp.h"

- This header file is a part of the API provided by the `wpa_supplicant` component. To declare that your component depends on `wpa_supplicant`, add the following to your CMakeLists.txt:

  >     REQUIRES wpa_supplicant

  > or

  >     PRIV_REQUIRES wpa_supplicant

### Functions

    - ESP_FAIL: Failure

esp_err_t esp_supp_dpp_start_listen(void)

  Start listening on Channels provided during esp_supp_dpp_bootstrap_gen.

         Listens on every Channel from Channel List for a pre-defined wait time.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: Success

    - ESP_FAIL: Generic Failure

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE: ROC attempted before WiFi is started

    - ESP_ERR_NO_MEM: Memory allocation failed while posting ROC request

esp_err_t esp_supp_dpp_stop_listen(void)

  Stop listening on Channels.

         Stops listening on Channels and cancels ongoing listen operation.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: Success

    - ESP_FAIL: Failure
