IOCTL_HAL_AUTHENTICATE_DEVICE

  • Article

This IOCTL is predefined for an OEM who wants to authenticate the device before the device is allowed to boot and be used by a user.

Parameters

None.

Return Values

None.

Remarks

The parameters are implemented by the OEM, and the return values will be based on the OEM implementation.

The data that is passed to the OAL is OEM–specific and depends on how they want to validate the OS image running on the device. An image can be encoded with a device's hardware ID so that this image will only run on one device. When the device boots, an application can be run that will call this IOCTL and pass information to the OAL so that a comparison of values can be achieved.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later.
Header: Pkfuncs.h.
