Exporting a symmetric versioned key

To export a symmetric versioned key

Call the I_C_ExportSymmetricKey API to export the default version of a versioned key, or a specific version. When no version is specified, this API uses the latest active version. When a specific version is appended (#n), that version is used.

Example

        rc = I_C_ExportSymmetricKey(session, my_version_key, &keyBytes,&keyBytesLen);
        rc = I_C_ExportSymmetricKey(session, "my_versioned_key#4", &keyBytes,&keyBytesLen);
