Keys In Crypto-C

The key object is used to hold any key-related information and to supply this information to functions that require it. To build a key, create an empty key object with B_CreateKeyObject. Then, use B_SetKeyInfo to fill it with the information necessary to distinguish it as the desired key. That information for B_SetKeyInfo is made up of two items, a Key Info Type (KI) and its specific accompanying info.

Chapter 3 of the Crypto-C Reference Manual (RM) gives a complete listing of KIs in alphabetical order. Each entry in the Reference Manual contains a description of the information that must accompany the KI.

Summary of KIs

Refer to the following tables, organized by function, for a list of Crypto-C KIs. Table 4-14Generic Keys

Key Information Type	Description
KI_8Byte	Generic 8-byte key
KI_16Byte	Generic 16-byte key
