WDI_AUTH_ALGORITHM enumeration (wditypes.hpp)

Important

This topic is part of the WDI driver model released in Windows 10. The WDI driver model is in maintenance mode and will only receive high priority fixes. 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 WDI_AUTH_ALGORITHM enumeration defines the authentication algorithm values.

Constants

 
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_80211_OPEN
Specifies an IEEE 802.11 Open System authentication algorithm.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_80211_SHARED_KEY
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
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
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
This value is not supported.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_RSNA
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
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
Specifies a Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3) 192-bit enterprise algorithm.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_WPA3_SAE
Specifies a WPA3-Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (WPA3-SAE) algorithm.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_OWE
Specifies an opportunistic wireless encryption (OWE) algorithm.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_WPA3_ENT
Specifies a Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3) enterprise algorithm.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_IHV_START
Specifies the start of the range that specifies proprietary authentication algorithms that are developed by an IHV.
WDI_AUTH_ALGO_IHV_END
Specifies the end of the range that specifies proprietary authentication algorithms that are developed by an IHV.
