Adding wireless network keys to windows xp system

[The Frog]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how to place a set of WEP or WPA keys into the
registry(?) programmatically. I have an application (idea) that I am
testing to connect temporarily to a wireless network, then disconnect
again - and remove / delete the keys. I am trying to remove all
footprint from the environment / application when the application is
shut down. Is this even possible?

Cheers

Forgive me for not knowing, but where are the WEP/WPA keys stored in
the registry? Assuming they aren't encrypted, then you should be able
to use the members of the Microsoft.Win32.Registry class to get and
set the values.

Thanks,

Hi Seth,

This is what I am trying to figure out. I am not sure if they are in
the registry or not. Encrypted or not isnt so important for my
application - I would simply be adding the keys and removing the keys
as required so the information could be in encrypted format or non-
encrypted - its just add and delete. What I really want to know is
where they live and how to get to them.

Just for the record, I would be re-encrypting the keys fofr storage
with the app anyway so that it is extremely difficult to reverse
engineer them. The application is a little special and monitors some
sensitive industrial control stuff, and requires some heavy security
to get to it and the app.

Any ideas?

Thanks Newbie_Coder, appreciated. I will give this a crack and see if
I can get the behaviour needed to satisfy the powers that be...
