Specifies the authentication algorithm for user or machine authentication on an ad hoc network.
Syntax
typedef enum tagDOT11_ADHOC_AUTH_ALGORITHM {
DOT11_ADHOC_AUTH_ALGO_INVALID,

} DOT11_ADHOC_AUTH_ALGORITHM;
Constants
DOT11_ADHOC_AUTH_ALGO_INVALIDThe authentication algorithm specified is invalid. |
DOT11_ADHOC_AUTH_ALGO_80211_OPENSpecifies an IEEE 802.11 Open System authentication algorithm. |
DOT11_ADHOC_AUTH_ALGO_RSNA_PSKSpecifies an IEEE 802.11i Robust Security Network Association (RSNA) algorithm that uses the pre-shared key (PSK) mode. 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. |
Remarks
Authentication and cipher algorithms are used in pairs. The following table shows valid algorithm pairs for use on an ad hoc network.
| Pair Name | DOT11_ADHOC_AUTH_ALGORITHM value | DOT11_ADHOC_CIPHER_ALGORITHM value |
|---|---|---|
| Open-None | DOT11_ADHOC_AUTH_ALGO_80211_OPEN | DOT11_ADHOC_CIPHER_ALGO_NONE |
| Open-WEP | DOT11_ADHOC_AUTH_ALGO_80211_OPEN | DOT11_ADHOC_CIPHER_ALGO_WEP |
| WPA2PSK | DOT11_ADHOC_AUTH_ALGO_RSNA_PSK | DOT11_ADHOC_CIPHER_ALGO_CCMP |
