The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has posted a draft version of a new ‘setup protocol’:
                https://www.wi-fi.org/downloads-registered-guest/Wi-Fi_DPP_Tech_Spec_v0_0_23.pdf

The WFA is looking for review and comments on this specification.

The Wifi Alliance is working on a protocol that is intended to improve initial access for devices.  While the spec is not public, the blurb about the spec is.  It says:

Device Provisioning Protocol
With the increase in Wi-Fi CERTIFIED devices available, end users have the ability to add a more diverse set of devices to their Wi-Fi networks, including a growing range of devices that do not have a rich user interface. Wi-Fi Alliance Device Provisioning Protocol will enhance the user experience with a simple, secure, and consistent method for on- and off-boarding any type of device on a Wi-Fi network.
See http://www.wi-fi.org/who-we-are/current-work-areas.
I’m working to expedite an open cryptographic review of the current draft of the DPP specification.  The Wi-Fi Alliance staff is still working on the process to solicit comments, but there should be something that can be shared within a few weeks. If you are interesting in reviewing this draft please send a note to Gabino Solano (cc’ed).
