Error encrypting payload.
Updated: Feb 21, 2026
Technical Meaning
The ERROR_IPSEC_IKE_ENCRYPT error code indicates a failure in the encryption process during Internet Key Exchange (IKE) or IPsec operations. This error is specific to cryptographic operations and suggests that an issue occurred while attempting to encrypt data.
Error Details
- Error Name: ERROR_IPSEC_IKE_ENCRYPT
- Numeric Code: 13866
- Hex Code: 0x362A
- Short Description: Error encountered during the encryption process in IPsec/IKE operations.
Usage Context
This error is typically encountered when there are issues with cryptographic operations, such as key generation, key exchange, or data encryption. It can occur at various stages of IPsec/IKE protocol execution and may be related to hardware limitations, software misconfiguration, or corrupted input data.
Developer Interpretation
Developers should interpret this error code as an indication that the system encountered a failure during the encryption process. This could be due to invalid parameters, incorrect object types, exceeding limits, corrupted data, unsupported operations, or incorrect usage context. Developers should review the operation context and validate input parameters to resolve the issue.
