Description
This wrapping mechanism performs a DER encoding of a Public Key object. The encoding is not encrypted therefore the wrapping key object handle parameter is ignored.
Public keys of type CKK_RSA
, CKK_DSA
and CKK_DH
may be encoded with this mechanism. The encoding format is defined in PKCS#1. This mechanism has no parameter.
