RSA Security 5 manual KIDESBSAFE1, Bsafe 1.x encoding of a DES key

KI_DES_BSAFE1

KI_DES_BSAFE1

Purpose:

Deprecated. This type is included only for backward compatibility.

Type of information this allows you to use:

the BSAFE 1.x encoding of a DES key.

Format of info supplied to B_SetKeyInfo:

pointer to an ITEM structure that gives the address and length of the BSAFE 1.x encoding. B_SetKeyInfo returns BE_WRONG_KEY_INFO if the encoding specifies a secret key for an algorithm other than DES.

Format of info returned by B_GetKeyInfo:

pointer to an ITEM structure that gives the address and length of the BSAFE 1.x encoding.

Can get this info type if key object already has:

KI_DES_BSAFE1, KI_DES8, KI_Item (if the length of the ITEM is 8 and the data’s DES parity is correct), KI_8Byte (if the DES parity is correct), KI_RC2WithBSAFE1Params (if the DES parity of the RC2 key is correct) or KI_RC2_BSAFE1 (if the DES parity of the 8-byte RC2 key is correct).
