Detailed Description

CK_VERSION; CK_VERSION_PTR

CK_VERSION is a structure that describes the version of a Cryptoki interface, a Cryptoki library, or an SSL implementation, or the hardware or firmware version of a slot or token.
major major version number (the integer portion of the version)
minor minor version number (the hundredths portion of the version)

For version 1.0, major = 1 and minor = For version 2.1, major = 2 and minor = 10. Table 9 below lists the major and minor version values for the officially published Cryptoki specifications.

Minor revisions of the Cryptoki standard are always upwardly compatible within the same major version number.


CK_VERSION_PTR is a pointer to a CK_VERSION.
