Detailed Description

CK_PBE_PARAMS; CK_PBE_PARAMS_PTR

CK_PBE_PARAMS is a structure which provides all of the necessary information required by the CKM_PBE mechanisms (see PKCS #5 and PKCS #12 for information on the PBE generation mechanisms) and the CKM_PBA_SHA1_WITH_SHA1_HMAC mechanism.

pInitVector	pointer to the location that receives the 8-byte initialization vector (IV), if an IV is required;
pPassword	points to the password to be used in the PBE key generation;
ulPasswordLen	length in bytes of the password information;
pSalt	points to the salt to be used in the PBE key generation;
ulSaltLen	length in bytes of the salt information;
ulIteration	number of iterations required for the generation.

CK_PBE_PARAMS_PTR is a pointer to a CK_PBE_PARAMS.

typedef struct CK_PBE_PARAMS {
CK_BYTE_PTR pInitVector;
CK_UTF8CHAR_PTR pPassword;
CK_ULONG ulPasswordLen;
CK_BYTE_PTR pSalt;
CK_ULONG ulSaltLen;
CK_ULONG ulIteration;
} CK_PBE_PARAMS;

pInitVector	pointer to the location that receives the 8-byte initialization vector (IV), if an IV is required;
pPassword	points to the password to be used in the PBE key generation;
ulPasswordLen	length in bytes of the password information;
pSalt	points to the salt to be used in the PBE key generation;
ulSaltLen	length in bytes of the salt information;
ulIteration	number of iterations required for the generation.

CK_PBE_PARAMS_PTR is a pointer to a CK_PBE_PARAMS.
