RSA BSAFE Cert-C
API Reference

PKI_POP_GEN_SIGNATURE_INFO Struct Reference

Contains the information needed to generate a Proof-of-Possession for a signature private-key corresponding to the public key in a certification request, using either a digital signature or a password-based MAC.

Generally, the application need not specify the subject name and public key in this structure. Instead, they are usually specified in the certTemplate field of the PKI_MSG_FIELDS of the request message object. Use PKI_POP_GEN_SIGNATURE_INFO in the PKI_POP_GEN_INFO structure.

Data Fields

authInfoType

An int value that identifies the type of data structure in the authInfo union. Cert-C supports the following authentication information types:

Authentication Information Type	Description
`PKI_POP_AUTH_TYPE_NAME`	The subject field is valid.
`PKI_POP_AUTH_TYPE_PBM`	The pbmInfo field is valid.

authInfo A union that contains the authentication information specified by authInfoType.
subject - An ALTERNATE_NAME structure that contains the subject name corresponding to the public key being certified.
pbmInfo - A PBM_INFO structure that contains the password-based MAC information used to authenticate the request.

publicKey An ITEM structure that specifies the DER-encoded subject public-key information. This includes both the public-key value and the public-key algorithm-identifier.
