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.
