security_valid


Description:


public bool security_valid (SecurityType type, DeviceWifiCapabilities wifi_caps, bool have_ap, bool adhoc, @80211ApFlags ap_flags, @80211ApSecurityFlags ap_wpa, @80211ApSecurityFlags ap_rsn)

Given a set of device capabilities, and a desired security type to check against, determines whether the combination of device, desired security type, and AP capabilities intersect.

NOTE: this function cannot handle checking security for AP/Hotspot mode; use ap_mode_security_valid instead.

Parameters:

type

the security type to check AP flags and device capabilities against, e.g. STATIC_WEP

wifi_caps

bitfield of the capabilities of the specific Wi-Fi device, e.g. CIPHER_WEP40

have_ap

whether the ap_flags, ap_wpa, and ap_rsn arguments are valid

adhoc

whether the capabilities being tested are from an Ad-Hoc AP (IBSS)

ap_flags

bitfield of AP capabilities, e.g. PRIVACY

ap_wpa

bitfield of AP capabilities derived from the AP's WPA beacon, e.g. ( PAIR_TKIP | KEY_MGMT_PSK)

ap_rsn

bitfield of AP capabilities derived from the AP's RSN/WPA2 beacon, e.g. ( PAIR_CCMP | PAIR_TKIP)

Returns:

true if the device capabilities and AP capabilities intersect and are compatible with the desired type, false if they are not
