gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_generate2: Api function

SYNOPSIS

#include <gnutls/pkcs11.h>

int gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_generate2(const char * url, gnutls_pk_algorithm_t pk, unsigned int bits, const char * label, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t fmt, gnutls_datum_t * pubkey, unsigned int flags);

ARGUMENTS

const char * url: a token URL
gnutls_pk_algorithm_t pk: the public key algorithm
unsigned int bits: the security bits
const char * label: a label
gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t fmt: the format of output params. PEM or DER.
gnutls_datum_t * pubkey: will hold the public key (may be NULL)
unsigned int flags: zero or an OR'ed sequence of GNUTLS_PKCS11_OBJ_FLAGs

DESCRIPTION

This function will generate a private key in the specified by the url token. The private key will be generate within the token and will not be exportable. This function will store the DER-encoded public key in the SubjectPublicKeyInfo format in pubkey . The pubkey should be deinitialized using gnutls_free().

Note that when generating an elliptic curve key, the curve can be substituted in the place of the bits parameter using the GNUTLS_CURVE_TO_BITS() macro.

RETURNS

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.

SINCE

3.1.5
