Creating, modifying, and copying objects


Sections

Creating objects
Modifying objects
Copying objects

Detailed Description

All Cryptoki functions that create, modify, or copy objects take a template as one of their arguments, where the template specifies attribute values. Cryptographic functions that create objects (see Section) may also contribute some additional attribute values themselves; which attributes have values contributed by a cryptographic function call depends on which cryptographic mechanism is being performed (see Section). In any case, all the required attributes supported by an object class that do not have default values must be specified when an object is created, either in the template or by the function itself.
