KI_24Byte
248 RSA BSAFE Crypto-C Library Reference Manual
KI_24Byte
Purpose:
This KI allows you to specify a generic 24-byte key for a symmetric encryption
algorithm such as Triple DES. It may also be used as keying material for certain MAC
algorithms such as HMAC. See
KI_DES24Strong for a Triple DES specific variant of
this key info type.
Type of information this allows you to use:
a 24-byte value for symmetric keys such as DES_EDE.
Format of info supplied to B_SetKeyInfo:
pointer to an unsigned char array that holds the 24 bytes.
Format of info returned by B_GetKeyInfo:
pointer to an unsigned char array that holds the 24 bytes.
Can get this info type if key object already has:
KI_24Byte, KI_Item (if the length of the ITEM is 24), KI_DESX.
