SUNW_C_GetMechSession(3EXT) SUNW_C_GetMechSession(3EXT)
NAME
SUNW_C_GetMechSession, SUNW_C_KeyToObject - PKCS#11 Cryptographic Framework functions
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file... -lpkcs11 [ library... ]
#include <security/cryptoki.h>
#include <security/pkcs11.h>
CK_RV SUNW_C_GetMechSession(CK_MECHANISM_TYPE mech, CK_SESSION_HANDLE_PTR hSession);
CK_RV SUNW_C_KeyToObject(CK_SESSION_HANDLE hSession, CK_MECHANISM_TYPE mech, const void *rawkey, size_t rawkey_len, CK_OBJECT_HANDLE_PTR
obj);
These functions implement the RSA PKCS#11 v2.11 specification by using plug-ins to provide the slots.
The SUNW_C_GetMechSession() function initializes the PKCS#11 cryptographic framework and performs all necessary calls to Standard PKCS#11
functions (see libpkcs11(3LIB)) to create a session capable of providing operations on the requested mechanism. It is not neccessary to
call C_Initalize() or C_GetSlotList() before the first call to SUNW_C_GetMechSession().
If the SUNW_C_GetMechSession() function is called multiple times, it will return a new session each time without re-initalizing the frame-
work. If it is unable to return a new session, CKR_SESSION_COUNT is returned.
The C_CloseSession() function should be called to release the session when it is no longer required.
The SUNW_C_KeyToObject() function creates a key object for the specified mechanism from the rawkey data. The object should be destroyed
with C_DestroyObject() when it is no longer required.
The SUNW_C_GetMechSession() function returns the following values:
CKR_OK The function completed successfully.
CKR_SESSION_COUNT No sessions are available.
CKR_ARGUMENTS_BAD A null pointer was passed for the return session handle.
CKR_MECHANISM_INVALID The requested mechanism is invalid or no available plug-in provider supports it.
CKR_FUNCTION_FAILED The function failed.
CKR_GENERAL_ERROR A general error occurred.
The SUNW_C_KeyToObject() function returns the following values:
CKR_OK The function completed successfully.
CKR_ARGUMENTS_BAD A null pointer was passed for the session handle or the key material.
CKR_MECHANISM_INVALID The requested mechanism is invalid or no available plug-in provider supports it.
CKR_FUNCTION_FAILED The function failed.
CKR_GENERAL_ERROR A general error occurred.
The return values of each of the implemented functions are defined and listed in the RSA PKCS#11 v2.11 specification. See http://www.rsase-
curity.com/rsalabs/pkcs/pkcs-11.
These functions are not part of the RSA PKCS#11 v2.11 specification. They are not likely to exist on non-Solaris systems. They are provided
as a convenience to application programmers. Use of these functions will make the application non-portable to other systems.
