Detailed Description

CK_MECHANISM_INFO

CK_MECHANISM_INFO is a structure that provides information about a particular mechanism.
ulMinKeySize the minimum size of the key for the mechanism
ulMaxKeySize the maximum size of the key for the mechanism
flags bit flags specifying mechanism capabilities

The flags are defined as follows. 




 Table 7-4, Mechanism Information FLags   
Bit Flag  Mask  Meaning    


CKF_HW 0x0001 TRUE if the mechanism is performed by the device; FALSE if the mechanism is performed in software   


CKF_EXTENSION 0x8000 TRUE if an extension to the flags; FALSE if no extensions. Must be FALSE for this version.  

 




 CK_MECHANISM_INFO_PTR

 CK_MECHANISM_INFO_PTR  points to a CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure. It is implementation dependent.



 CK_RC2_CBC_PARAMS

  CK_RC2_CBC_PARAMS is a structure that provides the parameters to the CKM_RC2_CBC mechanism. It is defined as follows:
