NAME

gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_generate3 - API function

SYNOPSIS

#include <gnutls/pkcs11.h>

int gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_generate3(const char * url, gnutls_pk_algorithm_t pk, unsigned int bits, const char * label, const gnutls_datum_t * cid, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t fmt, gnutls_datum_t * pubkey, unsigned int key_usage, unsigned int flags);

ARGUMENTS

a token URL
the public key algorithm
the security bits
a label
The CKA_ID to use for the new object
the format of output params. PEM or DER
will hold the public key (may be NULL)
One of GNUTLS_KEY_*
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.

Since 3.6.3 the objects are marked as sensitive by default unless GNUTLS_PKCS11_OBJ_FLAG_MARK_NOT_SENSITIVE is specified.

RETURNS

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

SINCE

3.4.0
