PKI_PROTECT_INFO Struct Reference

Contains the information needed to generate and/or validate cryptographic protection of the message.

Use PKI_PROTECT_INFO with the C_RequestPKICert(), C_WritePKICertRequestMsg(), and C_ReadPKICertResponseMsg() functions.

Data Fields
info A union that contains the information required to generate or validate protection of a PKI message.
secret - If a shared secret is being used to protect the message, this field should point to an ITEM that specifies the shared secret. The protection (envelope and/or signature) algorithms determine whether a shared secret or public/private key is needed.
protectionCtx - If the PKI message protection algorithms use a public or private key, this field should specify the certification-path context. It supplies both a source for any certificates required and a source for the private key, if one is needed.
