IDEA secret key objects

IDEA secret key objects (object class CKO_SECRET_KEY, key type CKK_IDEA) hold IDEA keys. The following table defines the IDEA secret key object attributes, in addition to the common attributes defined for this object class: 




 Table 324, IDEA Secret Key Object   
Attribute Data type Meaning   


CKA_VALUE1,4,6,7 Byte array Key value (always 16 bytes long)  

 



- Refer to Table 15 for footnotes


The following is a sample template for creating an IDEA secret key object:



CK_OBJECT_CLASS class = CKO_SECRET_KEY;
CK_KEY_TYPE keyType = CKK_IDEA;
CK_UTF8CHAR label[] = "An IDEA secret key object";
CK_BYTE value[16] = {...};
CK_BBOOL true = CK_TRUE;
CK_ATTRIBUTE template[] = {
{CKA_CLASS, &class, sizeof(class)},
{CKA_KEY_TYPE, &keyType, sizeof(keyType)},
{CKA_TOKEN, &true, sizeof(true)},
{CKA_LABEL, label, sizeof(label)-1},
{CKA_ENCRYPT, &true, sizeof(true)},
{CKA_VALUE, value, sizeof(value)}
};
