Android Ethernet 802.1x support

Android_Ethernet_802.1x_support.md

"As of now Android doesn’t support 802.1x Authentication over Ethernet natively."

Below components need to be changed/modified

• Ethernet Supplicant
• Ethernet Supplicant interface (HAL)
• EthernetManager and EthernetService/EthernetEnterpriseService
• IPConfiguration
• SELinux

Proposed solution supports EAP-TLS, EAP-PEAP, EAP-TTLS, EAP-MD5 and EAP-PWD authentication methods.

Solution is ready and tested on AOSP Android 4.4, Android 7, Android 9, Android 10, Android 11, Android 12, Android 13, Android 14 and Android 15 OS. Contact for more details.

Hello Dennis,

Sure we can talk on it. I have implemented it in Android Q AOSP source code and tested it. Let me know your details.

Thanks,
Dharmesh

I am interested in this project, I need to use 802.1x over ethernet in Android 10. Can you help me?

Thanks.

Ok, can we talk tomorrow at 12:00 Spanish time? Provide me a link for the call

Hello Dharmesh Patel,
Is there any official documentation from Android where they specify this change? Just wanted to research more on this item.

The specified changes are part of custom solution of 802.1x in Android.

I am referring to the changes made by Android, when they decided to drop support for 802.1X. I am browsing their repo and cannot find any relevant changes where they decided not to support it anymore...

P.S. Can you solution be applied to a Samsung device?

Android only support Wifi based 802.1x. Android doesn't support Ethernet based 802.1x. The provided custom solution is different based on different version of Android OS.

Can you assist me with some support for a specific device? Please drop me an email at [email protected]
