Password-based encryption/authentication mechanism parameters

CK_PBE_PARAMS; CK_PBE_PARAMS_PTR

CK_PBE_PARAMS is a structure which provides all of the necessary information required by the CKM_PBE mechanisms (see PKCS #5 and PKCS #12 for information on the PBE generation mechanisms) and the CKM_PBA_SHA1_WITH_SHA1_HMAC mechanism. It is defined as follows:

typedef struct CK_PBE_PARAMS {
CK_BYTE_PTR pInitVector;
CK_UTF8CHAR_PTR pPassword;
CK_ULONG ulPasswordLen;
CK_BYTE_PTR pSalt;
CK_ULONG ulSaltLen;
CK_ULONG ulIteration;
} CK_PBE_PARAMS;

pInitVector pointer to the location that receives the 8-byte initialization vector (IV), if an IV is required;

pPassword points to the password to be used in the PBE key generation;

ulPasswordLen length in bytes of the password information;

pSalt points to the salt to be used in the PBE key generation;

ulSaltLen length in bytes of the salt information;

ulIteration number of iterations required for the generation.

CK_PBE_PARAMS_PTR is a pointer to a CK_PBE_PARAMS.
