OID_TCP_TASK_IPSEC_ADD_UDPESP_SA (Compact 7)

3/12/2014

A transport protocol sets OID_TCP_TASK_IPSEC_ADD_UDPESP_SA to request a miniport driver to add one or more security associations (SAs) for UDP-encapsulated ESP packets to a network adapter.

The information for each SA is formatted as an OFFLOAD_IPSEC_ADD_UDPESP_SA structure. Note that this structure is almost identical to the OFFLOAD_IPSEC_ADD_SA structure used in the OID_TCP_TASK_IPSEC_ADD_SA request. The only difference is that the OFFLOAD_IPSEC_ADD_UDPESP_SA structure contains the EncapTypeEntry and the EncapTypeEntryOffldHandle members.

The first seven members of the OFFLOAD_IPSEC_ADD_UDPESP_SA structure (SrcAddr, SrcMask, DestAddr, DestMask, Protocol, SrcPort, and DestPort) form a filter that specifies the source and destination, and the IP protocols, to which the SAs apply. This filter pertains to a transport-mode connection-that is, an end-to-end connection between two hosts. If the specified connection is made through a tunnel, the source and destination addresses of the tunnel are specified by SrcTunnelAddr and DestTunnelAddr, respectively.

If a filter parameter is set to zero, that parameter is not used to filter packets for the specified SAs. For example, if SrcAddr is set to zero, the specified SAs can apply to a packet that contains any source address. To take this to the extreme, if all the filter parameters are set to zero, the specified SAs apply to any source host sending any type of packet to any destination host.

The TCP/IP transport can specify an IP protocol in the Protocol member to indicate that the specified SAs apply only to packets of the specified protocol type. If Protocol is set to zero, the specified SAs apply to all packets sent from the specified source to the specified destination.

OFFLOAD_SECURITY_ASSOCIATION structure

An OFFLOAD_SECURITY_ASSOCIATION structure specifies a single security association (SA). The OFFLOAD_SECURITY_ASSOCIATION structure is an element in the SecAssoc variable-length array. SecAssoc contains one or two OFFLOAD_SECURITY_ASSOCIATION structures.

An SA specified for use in processing authentication headers (AH) will have an operation type of AUTHENTICATE and will have an IntegrityAlgo (integrity algorithm). The SA will not have a ConfAlgo (confidentiality algorithm). In this case, ConfAlgo will contain zeros.

An SA specified for use in processing encapsulating security payloads (ESPs) will have an operation type of ENCRYPT and may have an IntegrityAlgo (integrity algorithm) and/or a ConfAlgo (confidentiality algorithm).

OFFLOAD_ALGO_INFO structure

The OFFLOAD_ALGO_INFO structure, which is a member of an OFFLOAD_SECURITY_ASSOCIATION structure, specifies an algorithm that is used for a security association (SA).
