WDI_AUTH_ALGORITHM enumeration (dot11wificxtypes.h)

Important

This topic is part of the WiFiCx driver model. WiFiCx is the Wi-Fi driver model released in Windows 11. We recommend that you use WiFiCx to take advantage of the latest features. The previous Wi-Fi driver model WDI is in maintenance mode and will only receive high priority fixes.

The WDI_AUTH_ALGORITHM enumeration defines the authentication algorithm values.

Constants

WDI_AUTH_ALGO_80211_OPEN Value: 1 Specifies an IEEE 802.11 Open System authentication algorithm.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_80211_SHARED_KEY Value: 2 Specifies an IEEE 802.11 Shared Key authentication algorithm that requires the use of a pre-shared Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key for the 802.11 authentication.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_WPA Value: 3 Specifies a Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) algorithm. IEEE 802.1X port authorization is performed by the supplicant, authenticator, and authentication server. Cipher keys are dynamically derived through the authentication process. When the WPA algorithm is enabled, the 802.11 station only associates with an access point whose beacon or probe responses contain the authentication suite of type 1 (802.1X) within the WPA information element (IE).
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_WPA_PSK Value: 4 Specifies a Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) algorithm that uses preshared keys (PSK). IEEE 802.1X port authorization is performed by the supplicant and authenticator. Cipher keys are dynamically derived through a preshared key that is used on both the supplicant and authenticator. When the WPA PSK algorithm is enabled, the 802.11 station only associates with an access point whose beacon or probe responses contain the authentication suite of type 2 (preshared key) within the WPA IE.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_WPA_NONE Value: 5 This value is not supported.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_RSNA Value: 6 Specifies an IEEE 802.11i Robust Security Network Association (RSNA) algorithm. IEEE 802.1X port authorization is performed by the supplicant, authenticator, and authentication server. Cipher keys are dynamically derived through the authentication process. When the RSNA algorithm is enabled, the 802.11 station only associates with an access point whose beacon or probe responses contain the authentication suite of type 1 (802.1X) within the Robust Security Network (RSN) IE.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_RSNA_PSK Value: 7 Specifies an IEEE 802.11i RSNA algorithm that uses PSK. IEEE 802.1X port authorization is performed by the supplicant and authenticator. Cipher keys are dynamically derived through a pre-shared key that is used on both the supplicant and authenticator. When the RSNA PSK algorithm is enabled, the 802.11 station only associates with an access point whose beacon or probe responses contain the authentication suite of type 2 (preshared key) within the RSN IE.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_WPA3_ENT_192 Value: 8 Specifies a WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit mode algorithm.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_WPA3_SAE Value: 9 Specifies a WPA3-Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (WPA3-SAE) algorithm.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_OWE Value: 10 Specifies an opportunistic wireless encryption (OWE) algorithm.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_WPA3_ENT Value: 11 Specifies a WPA3-Enterprise algorithm.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_IHV_START Value: 0x80000000 Specifies the start of the range that specifies proprietary authentication algorithms that are developed by an IHV.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_IHV_END Value: 0xffffffff Specifies the end of the range that specifies proprietary authentication algorithms that are developed by an IHV.
