OID_WW_GEN_ENCRYPTION_SUPPORTED

The OID_WW_GEN_ENCRYPTION_SUPPORTED OID requests the miniport driver to return the type(s) of encryption supported by the driver and/or the NIC. The following lists the valid encryption types from the NDIS_WW_ENCRYPTION_TYPE enumeration.

  • NdisWWUnknownEncryption
    The driver cannot determine whether support for encryption is available from its NIC.

  • NdisWWNoEncryption
    No support for encryption is available.

  • NdisWWDefaultEncryption
    The NIC supports encryption but the driver cannot determine what type of encryption it supports.

  • NdisWWDESEncryption
    The NIC supports DES encryption.

  • NdisWWRC2Encryption
    The NIC supports RC2 encryption.

  • NdisWWRC4Encryption
    The NIC supports RC4 encryption.

  • NdisWWRC5Encryption
    The NIC supports RC5 encryption.

As additional NDIS_WW_ENCRYPTION_TYPE values are defined, the miniport driver should return an array of values indicating the types of encryption supported.

Sets and indications are irrelevant for this OID.

Note   This OID is not available for use beginning with Windows Vista.
