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
