Mechanism description
This wrapping mechanism takes the attributes of an object and encodes them. The encoding is not encrypted therefore the wrapping key object handle parameter is ignored.
If the object is sensitive then only non-sensitive attributes of the object are encoded. The encoding format is a simple proprietary encoding with the attribute type, length, a value presence indicator (Boolean) and the attribute value. This simple encoding format is used wherever BER or DER is not required.
