## Security
2+
3+
THESE SAMPLES ARE FROM THE LEGACY DIRECTX SDK AND ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS FOR REFERENCE AND DEVELOPER EDUCATION ONLY.
4+
5+
### DirectX Components
6+
7+
These samples use Direct3D 11, DirectInput, XInput 9.1.0, XInput 1.4, and XAudio 2.8/2.9 via the Windows SDK, and are all serviced through the OS.
8+
9+
For down-level support of XAudio 2 on Windows 7, the audio samples make use of the [XAudio2Redist](https://aka.ms/XAudio2Redist) NuGet package.
10+
11+
### Open Source Components
12+
13+
These samples make use of the GitHub versions of [DXUT for Direct3D 11](https://github.com/microsoft/DXUT) and [Effects for Direct3D 11](https://github.com/microsoft/FX11). One sample makes use of [DirectX Tool Kit for DirectX 11](https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXTK). All three libraries are subject to the [Microsoft open source security policy](https://github.com/microsoft/.github/security/policy).
14+
15+
### Legacy DirectX SDK Components
16+
17+
The legacy DirectX SDK is out of its support lifecycle, and no longer receives any security updates. This includes D3DX9, D3DX10, D3DX11, D3DCompiler 43 and prior, XInput 1.1 - 1.3, XAudio 2.7 and earlier, X3DAudio 1.0 - 1.7, and all versions of XACT. All these components are deployed by the end-of-life *DirectX End-User Runtime* (a.k.a. DXSETUP), and the payload DLLs are only available SHA-1 signed. **SHA-1 signing is deprecated due to known security weaknesses**.
18+

*This repository makes no use of the legacy DirectX SDK or the DirectX End-User Runtime.*
