IOCTL_HAL_AUTHENTICATE_DEVICE (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/5/2010

This IOCTL is predefined for an OEM who wants to authenticate the device before the device is allowed to boot and be used by a user.

Parameters

None.

Return Values

None.

Remarks

The parameters are implemented by the OEM, and the return values are based on the OEM implementation. The data passed to the OAL is OEM–specific and depends on how the OEM wants to validate the OS image running on the device.

An image can be encoded with a device's hardware ID so the image only runs on one device. When the device boots, an application can be run that will call this IOCTL and pass information to the OAL so a comparison of values can be achieved.

Requirements

Header pkfuncs.h
Windows Embedded CE Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later
