B_GenerateParameters

int B_GenerateParameters (
B_ALGORITHM_OBJ	algorithmObject,	/* algorithm object */
B_ALGORITHM_OBJ	resultAlgorithmObject,	/* result algorithm object */
B_ALGORITHM_OBJ	randomAlgorithmObject,	/* random algorithm */
A_SURRENDER_CTX *surrenderContext		/* surrender context */
);

Description

B_GenerateParameters uses algorithmObject to generate algorithm parameters, setting resultAlgorithmObject to the result. The application may then use B_GetAlgorithmInfo to get the new parameters from resultAlgorithmObject. The algorithm object for supplying random numbers is randomAlgorithmObject. The surrender context for processing and canceling during lengthy operations is surrenderContext; if its value is (A_SURRENDER_CTX *)NULL_PTR, Crypto-C does not use it. algorithmObject is reset to the state it was in after the call to B_GenerateInit, so that another parameter generation may be performed. See B_GenerateInit.

Return value
