Detailed Description

CK_INFO; CK_INFO_PTR

CK_INFO provides general information about Cryptoki. It is defined as follows:

cryptokiVersion	Cryptoki interface version number, for compatibility with future revisions of this interface
manufacturerID	ID of the Cryptoki library manufacturer. Must be padded with the blank character (' '). Should ''not'' be null-terminated.
flags	bit flags reserved for future versions. Must be zero for this version
libraryDescription	character-string description of the library. Must be padded with the blank character (' '). Should ''not'' be null-terminated.
libraryVersion	Cryptoki library version number

For libraries written to this document, the value of cryptokiVersion should be 2.1; the value of libraryVersion is the version number of the library software itself.

CK_INFO_PTR is a pointer to a CK_INFO.

CK_NOTIFICATION

CK_NOTIFICATION holds the types of notifications that Cryptoki provides to an application. It is defined as follows:

typedef CK_ULONG CK_NOTIFICATION;

For this version of Cryptoki, the following types of notifications are defined:

#define CKN_SURRENDER 0

The notifications have the following meanings:

CKN_SURRENDER Cryptoki is surrendering the execution of a function executing in a session so that the application may perform other operations. After performing any desired operations, the application should indicate to Cryptoki whether to continue or cancel the function (see Section 11.17.1).
