Detailed Description

RC2 is a block cipher which is trademarked by RSA Security. It has a variable keysize and an additional parameter, the "effective number of bits in the RC2 search space", which can take on values in the range 1-1024, inclusive. The effective number of bits in the RC2 search space is sometimes specified by an RC2 "version number"; this "version number" is not the same thing as the "effective number of bits", however. There is a canonical way to convert from one to the other.

This section defines the key type "CKK_RC2" for type CK_KEY_TYPE as used in the CKA_KEY_TYPE attribute of key objects.

Mechanisms:

CKM_RC2_KEY_GEN 
CKM_RC2_ECB 
CKM_RC2_CBC 
CKM_RC2_MAC 
CKM_RC2_MAC_GENERAL 
CKM_RC2_CBC_PAD
