This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.

This topic documents a feature of the Windows Media Device Manager SDK. We recommend that you migrate your application to use the Windows Portable Devices API. For more information, see the Windows Portable Devices SDK.

DecryptParam uses the session key of the secure authenticated channel to decrypt the data contained in a parameter.

Syntax

HRESULT DecryptParam(
  BYTE*  pbData,
  DWORD  dwDataLen
);

Parameters

pbData

[in, out]  Pointer to the first byte of a data buffer containing the encrypted parameter that is to be decrypted.

dwDataLen

[in]  Pointer to a DWORD specifying the length of the buffer to which pbData points.

Return Values

The method returns an HRESULT. All the interface methods in Windows Media Device Manager can return any of the following classes of error codes:

  • Standard COM error codes
  • Windows error codes converted to HRESULT values
  • Windows Media Device Manager error codes

For an extenstive list of possible error codes, see Error Codes.

Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Return code Description
S_OK The method succeeded.
E_INVALIDARG A parameter is invalid or is a NULL pointer.
E_FAIL An unspecified error occurred.

Remarks

Components should copy the data to a temporary buffer before calling DecryptParam and then decrypt the temporary buffer. This method only needs to be called for encrypted parameters. See Using Secure Authenticated Channels for a table of methods that must use the message authentication code algorithm and encrypted parameters.

Example Code

The following code shows a service provider's implementation of the IMDSPObject::Write method, which requires a service provider to decrypt data sent to it.

HRESULT CMyStorage::Write(BYTE *pData, DWORD *pdwSize,
                                 BYTE abMac[WMDM_MAC_LENGTH])
{
    HRESULT  hr;
    DWORD    dwWritten = 0;
    BYTE    *pTmpData  = NULL;          // Temporary buffer to hold the 
                                        // data during decryption.
    BYTE     pTempMac[WMDM_MAC_LENGTH]; // Temporary MAC that will be 
                                        // copied into the abMac
                                        // out parameter.

    if( m_hFile == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE )
    {
        return E_FAIL;
    }

    // Allocate the temporary buffer and copy the encrypted data into it.
    pTmpData = new BYTE [*pdwSize];
    if(!pTmpData)
        return E_OUTOFMEMORY;
    memcpy(pTmpData, pData, *pdwSize);

    // Decrypt the data.
    CHRg(g_pAppSCServer->DecryptParam(pTmpData, *pdwSize));

    // Check the MAC passed to the method. The MAC is built from
    // the data and data size parameters.
    // CORg is a macro that goes to the Error label on failure.
    HMAC hMAC;
    CORg(g_pAppSCServer->MACInit(&hMAC));
    CORg(g_pAppSCServer->MACUpdate(hMAC, (BYTE*)(pTmpData), *pdwSize));
    CORg(g_pAppSCServer->MACUpdate(hMAC, (BYTE*)(pdwSize), sizeof(*pdwSize)));
    CORg(g_pAppSCServer->MACFinal(hMAC, pTempMac));

    // If the MAC values don't match, return an error.
    if (memcmp(abMac, pTempMac, WMDM_MAC_LENGTH) != 0)
    {
        hr = WMDM_E_MAC_CHECK_FAILED;
        goto Error;
    }

    // The MAC values matched, so write the decrypted data to a local file.
    if( WriteFile(m_hFile,pTmpData,*pdwSize,&dwWritten,NULL) ) 
    {
        hr = S_OK;
    }
    else 
    {
        hr = HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(GetLastError());
    }

    *pdwSize = dwWritten;

Error:

    if( pTmpData )
    {
        delete [] pTmpData;
    }

    return hr;
}
