WiFi Framework C++ Edition

◆ wclWiFiAuthAlgorithm

Defines a wireless LAN authentication algorithm.

Enumerator
auOpen 

Specifies an IEEE 802.11 Open System authentication algorithm.

auSharedKey 

Specifies an 802.11 Shared Key authentication algorithm that requires the use of a pre-shared Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key for the 802.11 authentication.

auWpa 

Specifies a WiFi Protected Access (WPA) algorithm. IEEE 802.1X port authentication is performed by the supplicant, authenticator, and authentication server. Cipher keys are dynamically derived through the authentication process.

This algorithm is valid only for BSS types of bssInfrastructure.

When the WPA algorithm is enabled, the 802.11 station will associate only with an access point whose beacon or probe responses contain the authentication suite of type 1 (802.1X) within the WPA information element (IE).

wclWiFiBssType
auWpaPsk 

Specifies a WPA algorithm that uses pre-shared keys (PSK). IEEE 802.1X port authentication 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.

This algorithm is valid only for BSS types of bssInfrastructure.

When the WPA PSK algorithm is enabled, the 802.11 station will associate only with an access point whose beacon or probe responses contain the authentication suite of type 2 (pre-shared key) within the WPA IE.

auWpaNone 

This value is not supported.

auRsna 

Specifies an 802.11i Robust Security Network Association (RSNA) algorithm. WPA2 is one such algorithm. IEEE 802.1X port authentication is performed by the supplicant, authenticator, and authentication server. Cipher keys are dynamically derived through the authentication process.

This algorithm is valid only for BSS types of bssInfrastructure.

When the RSNA algorithm is enabled, the 802.11 station will associate only with an access point whose beacon or probe responses contain the authentication suite of type 1 (802.1X) within the RSN IE.

auRsnaPsk 

Specifies an 802.11i RSNA algorithm that uses PSK. IEEE 802.1X port authentication 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.

This algorithm is valid only for BSS types of bssInfrastructure.

When the RSNA PSK algorithm is enabled, the 802.11 station will associate only with an access point whose beacon or probe responses contain the authentication suite of type 2(pre-shared key) within the RSN IE.

auWpa3 

Specifies a WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit mode algorithm.

auWpa3Sae 

Specifies a WPA3-Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (WPA3-SAE) algorithm.

auOwe 

Specifies an opportunistic wireless encryption (OWE) algorithm.

auWpa3Ent 

Specifies a WPA3-Enterprise algorithm.

auUnknown 

The authentication algorithm is unknown or invalid.
