WDI_CIPHER_ALGORITHM enumeration (dot11wificxtypes.h)

  • Article

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_CIPHER_ALGORITHM enumeration defines the cipher algorithm values.
