Any device in monitor mode can capture it for every station +at once, no network access, and the target need carry no device. The literature +establishes the severity: **BFId** (ACM CCS 2025) re-identifies individuals from +BFI; **LeakyBeam** (NDSS 2025) detects occupancy through walls at 20 m from BFI; +**BeamSense** recognizes activities at up to 99.28%. IEEE Std **802.11bf-2025** +(published 26 Sep 2025) standardizes the sensing measurement/feedback surface +these attacks abuse — and a 2023 proposal for a BFI secure-transmission mechanism +(802.11-23/0782) was **withdrawn**, so the standard shipped with no privacy +protections. + +RuView already has a *detection* layer for this: **BFLD** (ADR-118/121) measures +the identity-leakage of each frame and gates what leaves the node. But BFLD +protects *RuView's own outputs*; it does nothing about a **third-party sniffer** +capturing the room's plaintext BFI off the air. There is no RuView component, and +per our market survey no shipping product anywhere, that prevents that. + +### 1.2 Constraint: compliant waveform controls, never jamming + +The defense must preserve normal communications and must not interfere with any +other station. Jamming (47 U.S.C. §333/§302a) is defined by *adding energy to +interfere with others' transmissions*. Any acceptable control must shape only the +node's **own** standards-conformant emission. + +### 1.3 The separability insight + +Identity leaks through the *fine* cross-subcarrier phase structure of a +beamforming report; data throughput rides the *dominant* beam direction. These +are (mostly) separable subspaces — so a transform confined to the fine subspace +can wreck re-identification while sparing the beam the link depends on.

Plus feedback + quantization/dither, sounding-cadence randomization, and a `SensingDetector` + that engages the shield only when sensing activity is observed. +3. **The adversary** (`attacker.rs`): a passive nearest-centroid re-identifier + modeling the BFId threat, with selectable Euclidean/Cosine metrics. +4. **A throughput model** (`throughput.rs`): + `(1 − sounding − feedback_airtime) · C(SNR·(1−ρ))/C(SNR)`, where the residual + `ρ` falls with feedback bits and the feedback airtime rises with them — giving + a genuine interior throughput optimum in feedback resolution. +5. **A compliance audit** (`compliance.rs`): the rotation is orthogonal ⇒ + energy-preserving ⇒ adds no interfering energy ⇒ **not jamming**, turned into a + checked `ComplianceReport` (energy ratio ≈ 1.0). +6. **The experiment** (`experiment.rs`): runs the attacker against unprotected and + protected traffic and reports both accuracies vs. chance, plus throughput and + compliance, with a single `passed()` verdict. +7. **The hyper-optimizer** (`optimize.rs`): derives the shipped shield config + rather than hand-picking it — the throughput-optimal feedback resolution and + the minimum rotation-mixing budget that collapses re-ID robustly (across both + attacker metrics and N∈{16,32}), plus a Pareto frontier. +8. **A deterministic proof** (`proof.rs`): a pinned FNV-1a witness over the + reference experiment (the `nvsim`/`verify.py` discipline). + +### 2.1 Why the keyed Givens rotation + +It is simultaneously **orthogonal** (energy-preserving ⇒ compliant), +**key-reversible** (the associated AP shares the session key and recovers the true +precoder ⇒ throughput preserved), and **fresh per session** (a sniffer sees a new +random rotation of the signature each session and cannot average it back ⇒ the +enrollment attack collapses; over unknown rotations the signature carries no +stable discriminative information ⇒ re-ID → chance). It is the shared-secret +precoding idea (cf. MIMOCrypt) specialized to the identity-bearing subspace. + +### 2.2 Measured behavior (SYNTHETIC / L0) + +Reference experiment at the hyper-optimized operating point (§opt), default +scene, N=16 identities, `cargo test`: + +| Metric | Shield off | Shield on | +|---|---|---| +| Passive re-ID accuracy | 100.0% | **4.7%** (chance 6.25%) | +| Link throughput ratio | 100% | **97.6%** | +| Emission energy ratio | — | **1.000000** (compliant) | + +All 35 unit/proof tests + doctest pass; the crate builds for +`wasm32-unknown-unknown` and is clippy-clean. + +### opt. Hyper-optimization (`optimize.rs`) + +The shipped shield config is the optimizer's output, not a guess, and +`ShieldConfig::default()` is asserted equal to it: + +- **Feedback resolution = 5 bits.** Throughput has an interior optimum in + feedback bits (residual falls, feedback airtime rises); the unconstrained + optimum is 3 bits (matching DySPAN-2026), and 5 is the throughput-best value in + the spec-allowed 802.11 {5,7,9} set. +- **Givens passes = 96.** The proven minimum for robust collapse — across both + attacker metrics *and* N∈{16,32} — is **48**; the shipped 96 is a free 2× + privacy margin, since the keyed rotation is derived from the shared secret and + never signaled (extra passes cost compute, not airtime). The original + hand-picked 112 was 2.3× over-provisioned. + +Net vs. the original hand-picked (112 passes / 7 bits): the optimum is strictly +better on **both** privacy (re-ID 0.047 vs 0.078) and throughput (0.976 vs 0.974), +and is now verified rather than assumed. See +`docs/research/privacy-shield/08-optimization.md`. + +### harness. Native terminal harness + TUI (`src/bin/veil.rs`) + +A custom, dependency-free binary (`veil`) ships with the crate — the in-repo, +native counterpart to the npm metaharness (ADR-289). It drives the same public +API the tests use, as an interactive ANSI dashboard plus scriptable subcommands +(`report`, `sweep`, `optimize`, `adaptive `, `proof`, `doctor`, `tui`). +Std-only (no `crossterm`/`ratatui`): the TUI is a command-driven redraw loop, so +it runs in any terminal, pipe, or CI and keeps the crate a pure leaf. It reports +only SYNTHETIC/L0 numbers and never relabels them. The wasm leaf story is +unchanged (validated with `--lib`; the bin is native-only). + +### sota. 2025–2026 evidence update (verified) + +A cited, adversarially-verified SOTA sweep +(`docs/research/privacy-shield/09-sota-update-2026.md`) refines the threat and +positioning. Load-bearing points for this ADR: + +- **Threat is broader and cheaper than §1.1 stated.** A passive, keyless, + single-antenna sniffer at ~20 m and *through walls* can identify people + (BFId, 99.5%/N=197, `MEASURED`), read **breathing** from stationary occupants + and **keystrokes/PINs** (LeakyBeam / WiKI-Eve / SThief, `MEASURED`), and — + decisively — **reconstruct full CSI from the sniffed BFI** (BFIAttack, + ≥93% single-antenna, `MEASURED`). VEIL's obfuscation must therefore degrade + *reconstructed-CSI* utility, not merely raw-BFI feature noise; because VEIL's + rotation is a **secret orthogonal** transform, the attacker has no key and no + closed-form to invert — this is now a claim to **test**, not assume. +- **VEIL's family is independently validated.** AP-side per-packet random + unitary on the LTF (LeakyBeam defense, 89.7%→~51%, `MEASURED`) and RIS + obfuscation (PrivISAC, 93%→~30%, robust to a retrained multi-location + attacker, `MEASURED`) confirm standard-permitted beamforming-surface + obfuscation works; DP-Givens quantization (`SYNTHETIC`) offers a formal ε knob. +- **Compliance precedent.** BeamDancer (IEEE TWC 2024, `MEASURED`) argues + native-beamforming obfuscation is 802.11-compliant while jamming/geofencing + are not — cite it as precedent. (Its ">96% PDR" figure was **refuted** in + verification; do not cite it.) +- **Security honesty.** Obfuscation shields have published counter-attacks + ("Defeating CSI obfuscation", SnoopFi), so VEIL's own shield security is + `CLAIMED`, not proven-secure, until it withstands learned de-obfuscation. +- **Governance gap.** No claim on 802.11bf-2025 privacy provisions survived + verification; that pillar remains an open question, not an asserted fact. + +The derived, prioritized improvement backlog lives in the SOTA-update file (§4). + +## 3. What this explicitly is NOT + +- **Not a radio driver.** No RF frontend, no transmit path, no + `wifi-densepose-hardware` coupling. VEIL cannot emit and cannot jam. +- **Not a defense against the associated AP.** That party holds the session key by + construction (threat class A3); protecting against a malicious AP is BFLD's + detection/privacy-class problem (ADR-118/141), not this shield's. +- **Not a full motion-obfuscation claim.** A fixed per-session rotation does not + hide coarse within-session motion; identity *re-ID* is the guaranteed target, + motion is partial/future work. +- **Not a real-hardware performance claim.** All defense numbers are SYNTHETIC/L0 + until a two-node capture with a boot/runtime-log witness exists (CLAUDE.md + hardware rule; roadmap P5). +- **Not RF denial or camera-grade anything.** + +## 4. Simplifications (honesty boundary) + +- The two-subspace split is an abstraction; on real radios comm and identity + information are only *approximately* separable, so the real throughput cost of + fully hiding identity may exceed the model's ~2%. DySPAN-2026's MEASURED curve + bounds it as *small* at fine resolution, not zero. +- The attacker is nearest-centroid. The collapse argument is classifier-independent + (it is about the marginalized signal), but P2/P5 must confirm a learned attacker + also collapses. +- The crate's PRNG is SplitMix64 — deterministic and WASM-safe but **not + cryptographic**; a deployment derives the rotation key from the negotiated link + secret, never from this PRNG. + +## 5. Consequences + +- RuView gains the *countermeasure* half of its RF-privacy story: BFLD detects + leakage, VEIL acts on it — a defensible, standards-anchored, gap-filling + position (see `docs/research/privacy-shield/06-market-and-buyers.md`). +- The compliance audit gives regulators/auditors a machine-checkable "not jamming" + artifact that composes with ADR-141 attestation. +- Future integration (BFLD `identity_risk` → `SensingDetector`, ADR-280 governed + actuation, firmware feedback shaping, two-node hardware measurement) is staged in + the research bundle roadmap and deliberately deferred so the model validates in + isolation first. + +## 6.

Context + +`wifi-densepose-privshield` (ADR-288) is the VEIL privacy shield — a new, +narrowly-scoped crate. Following the pattern ADR-286 set for +`wifi-densepose-sar`, it gets a dedicated per-crate MetaHarness rather than a +bespoke setup: the `vertical:coding` scaffold (architect/implementer/reviewer/ +test-writer, `doctor`) with `@metaharness/router`, `@metaharness/flywheel`, and +Darwin Mode wired in, plus a VEIL-specific, dependency-free `guidance` surface. + +## 2. Decision + +Land the harness at `harness/wifi-densepose-privshield/`, mirroring +`wifi-densepose-sar-harness`, with two deliberate improvements: + +1. **Dynamic dependency imports.** `bin/cli.js` imports the `@metaharness/*` + packages *inside* the commands that need them, not at module top. So + `guidance`, `--help`, and the guidance test run with **zero dependencies + installed** — useful for offline/air-gapped review and for this repo's CI + before `npm install`. Only `init`/`doctor`/`route`/`flywheel` touch the + kernel/host/router/flywheel packages. +2. **A VEIL `guidance` command.** A self-contained, source-cited, read-only + capability map (topics: `overview`, `threat`, `countermeasure`, + `compliance`, `optimization`, `experiment`), each entry carrying a summary, + repo-relative source citations, focused validation commands, and explicit + limitations — the `ruview_guidance` shape, specialized to VEIL. It labels all + defense evidence `SYNTHETIC/L0` and states plainly that guidance is + navigation, not authority. + +The standard three self-improvement/cost pieces are wired as real npm +dependencies (not stubs): + +- **`@metaharness/darwin`** (devDependency) — `npm run evolve` / `evolve:dry` + mutates the harness's own operating config, keeping only measurable gains. +- **`@metaharness/router`** — `src/router.ts` wires a real cost-optimal `Router` + (`qualityBar: 0.8`, k=1) over two model tiers, with four VEIL-shaped task axes + (threatModeling / complianceReview / optimizerTuning / docWriting). Labelled + examples are illustrative seed data (honesty note in-file). +- **`@metaharness/flywheel`** — `src/flywheel.ts` wires the real + `runFlywheelGenerations` promotion loop (propose → evaluate → gate → promote, + Ed25519-signed, independently replayable) with a SYNTHETIC proposer/evaluator + (`dataSource: 'SYNTHETIC'`, no model call), over VEIL policy levers + (`complianceReview`, `threatTriage`). + +## 3. What this explicitly is NOT + +- **Not a VEIL runtime.** The harness does not run a radio, emit RF, or jam. It + assists *development* on the crate; it cannot execute the shield on hardware. +- **Not evolving the crate.** Darwin/Flywheel mutate the harness's own policy + (agent prompts, review-checklist depth), not VEIL's Rust code. The crate's + actual hyper-optimization (ADR-288 §opt) was done directly, in the crate. +- **Not a live routing/promotion system.** The router's examples are seed data; + the flywheel's proposer/evaluator are deterministic stand-ins — both honestly + labelled in-source and in `CLAUDE.md`. +- **Not a replacement for the crate's gates.** The authoritative check for a + VEIL change remains `cargo test -p wifi-densepose-privshield`. +- **Not a re-labeller.** The harness must never present VEIL's SYNTHETIC results + as MEASURED, and never scaffold interference-based ("jamming") defenses — both + are hard rules in the harness `CLAUDE.md`. + +## 4. Consequences + +- The harness ships `guidance`/`doctor`/`init`/`route`/`flywheel`; `guidance` + and `--help` work offline (validated here via `node bin/cli.js`), the rest + after `npm install` + `npm run build` (CI). +- `.harness/manifest.json` + `manifest.sha256` are generated with real per-file + hashes at creation (unlike ADR-286's scaffold, whose manifest was historical). +- Scoped to its own name: its plugin, permissions, and (future) MCP surface only + read/assist on `wifi-densepose-privshield`.

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.

Why the keyed Givens rotation is the right primitive + +The compressed beamforming report is *already* a product of Givens rotations +(the φ/ψ angles). VEIL composes **additional keyed Givens rotations** over the +fine block. This choice gives three properties at once: + +1. **Orthogonal ⇒ energy-preserving.** A Givens rotation preserves the vector's + L2 norm exactly. Composing many still preserves it. So the emission carries + the same power it always would — **no added energy, no interference, not + jamming.** The `compliance` module checks this: energy ratio = 1.000000. +2. **Keyed & reversible ⇒ throughput-preserving.** The legitimate AP/STA shares + the per-session key, derives the identical rotation schedule, and applies the + inverse (negated angles, reversed order) to recover the true precoder. It pays + only the tiny residual from quantizing the extra angles at `feedback_bits` + resolution — negligible across the 802.11 5–9-bit range — plus the sounding + overhead. (The throughput-optimal resolution is derived in + [08-optimization.md](08-optimization.md).) +3. **Fresh per session ⇒ unlinkable.** A different rotation each session means an + A1 sniffer sees `R_e · signature` for a new random `R_e` every time. Averaging + over sessions (the natural enrollment attack) drives + `mean_e(R_e · signature) → 0` for *every* identity, so all templates collapse + toward the origin and become indistinguishable — re-identification → chance. + This is the marginalized-mutual-information argument: over unknown rotations, + the signature carries no stable discriminative information. + +This is the shared-secret precoding idea (cf. MIMOCrypt) specialized to the +identity-bearing subspace and unified around the report's native primitive. + +--- + +## 4.

The `SensingDetector` exposes the decision rule: when the observed +rate of sensing/NDP solicitations crosses a threshold, the control plane +(ADR-280) engages the shield.

Any device in + monitor mode can capture it for every client at once, no network access, and + the target need carry no device. **BFId** (KIT, ACM CCS 2025) re-identifies + individuals from BFI alone; **LeakyBeam** (NDSS 2025) detects occupancy + through walls at ~20 m from BFI; **BeamSense** recognizes activities at up to + 99.28% from BFI. IEEE Std **802.11bf-2025** (published 26 Sep 2025) + standardizes the sensing measurement/feedback surface these attacks abuse. + +2. **The standards body declined to fix it.** A 2023 proposal for a BFI + "secure transmission mechanism" (IEEE 802.11-23/0782) was **withdrawn** — + the working group did not align on characterizing sensing privacy as a + distinct problem. 802.11bf shipped without privacy protections. This is the + single strongest demand signal: the gap is structural and acknowledged. + +3. **No targeted anti-sensing product ships (as of 2026).** Every countermeasure + in the literature — IRShield, PhyCloak, MIMOCrypt, DP-Givens dithering, + ScatterShield — is research-stage. The only shipping substitute is broadband + RF shielding (SCIF/TEMPEST film/paint), which is blunt: it kills *all* RF and + cannot coexist with wanted WiFi. The whitespace is a **selective, coexisting, + software/PHY** shield. + +4. **The WiFi Veil mechanism.** Identity leaks through the *fine* cross-subcarrier + phase structure of a beamforming report; throughput rides the *dominant* + beam direction. These are (mostly) separable subspaces. WiFi Veil composes extra + **keyed Givens rotations** over the fine subspace only. The rotation is + *orthogonal* (energy-preserving ⇒ not jamming), *keyed per session* (the + legitimate receiver inverts it ⇒ throughput preserved), and *fresh each + session* (a sniffer cannot average it back ⇒ re-ID collapses to chance). + +5. **Measured on the reference model (SYNTHETIC), at the hyper-optimized + operating point.** On the default synthetic scene (16 candidate identities), + a passive re-identifier scores **100% with the shield off** and **4.7% with + it on** (chance = 6.25%), while modeled link throughput stays at **97.6%** of + baseline and the emission energy ratio is **1.000000** (compliant). The shield + config is chosen by the `optimize` module — 96 Givens passes (2× the proven- + minimum 48 for robust collapse across both attacker metrics and N∈{16,32}) at + 5-bit feedback resolution — not hand-picked (see + [08-optimization.md](08-optimization.md)).

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 WiFi 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** (WiFi 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.

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 WiFi Veil node": F (infeasible).** +The one waveform we need to touch is behind a blob with no hook. + +**Feasibility grade for "ESP32 as a WiFi Veil supporting device": B (feasible, +build-only).** Three legitimate roles below, best-first. + +--- + +## What the ESP32 can and cannot do + +| Capability | ESP-IDF surface | WiFi 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 WiFi 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* WiFi 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`.

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 WiFi 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.

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 WiFi 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.

How this protects you

plain language
+
+
+ + The threat +

Your Wi-Fi constantly sends the router fine signal details — in the clear. A stranger nearby can capture them and recognise individual people by their radio "fingerprint": through walls, with no camera, and nothing on you.

+
+
+ + The shield +

WiFi Veil scrambles that fingerprint on every report with a secret twist only your own router can undo. An outside listener sees a different scramble each time and can't tie it to a person — their guess of "who's here" drops to pure chance.

+
+
+ + Kept honest +

It shapes only your own signal — it never jams, and your Wi-Fi speed stays ~98%. It stops outside snoops, not the router you connect to. Figures here are simulated (L0), pending real-hardware tests.
