SEED secret key objects

SEED secret key objects (object class CKO_SECRET_KEY, key type CKK_SEED) hold SEED keys. The following table defines the secret key object attributes, in addition to the common attributes defined for this object class:

Table 84, SEED Secret Key Object Attributes
Attribute Data type Meaning
CKA_VALUE1,4,6,7 Byte array Key value (always 16 bytes long)

- Refer to [PKCS #11-B] table 15 for footnotes.

The following is a sample template for creating a SEED secret key object:

CK_OBJECT_CLASS class = CKO_SECRET_KEY;
CK_KEY_TYPE keyType = CKK_SEED;
CK_UTF8CHAR label[] = "A SEED secret key object";
CK_BYTE value[] = {...};
CK_BBOOL true = CK_TRUE;
CK_ATTRIBUTE template[] = {
{CKA_CLASS, &class, sizeof(class)},
{CKA_KEY_TYPE, &keyType, sizeof(keyType)},
{CKA_TOKEN, &true, sizeof(true)},
{CKA_LABEL, label, sizeof(label)-1},
{CKA_ENCRYPT, &true, sizeof(true)},
{CKA_VALUE, value, sizeof(value)}
};
