 SUNW_C_GETMECHSESSION 3EXT "Aug 27, 2019"
 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);




 DESCRIPTION
These functions implement the RSA PKCS#11 v2.20 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 necessary to call
C_Initialize() 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-initializing the framework. 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.

 RETURN VALUES
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 v2.20 specification. See http://www.rsasecurity.com.

 USAGE
These functions are not part of the RSA PKCS#11 v2.20 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.
