pkc_crypto_lookup_algorithm(3sec)

Synopsis

#include <dce/pkc_base.h>

#include <dce/pkc_crypto_reg.h>

unsigned32 pkc_crypto_lookup_algorithm(

gss_OID oid,

pkc_signature_algorithm_t *details);

Parameters

Input

oid
An OID identifying the algorithm about which details are desired.

Output

details
A pointer to an algorithm implementation descriptor block for the specified algorithm.

Description

pkc_crypto_lookup_algorithm(3sec) returns a pointer to an algorithm implementation descriptor block for the specified cryptographic algorithm, and leaves the algorithm list unlocked. Calling this routine is the recommended way of obtaining information about a registered algorithm implementation.

The complete list of registered algorithms may be obtained by calling pkc_crypto_get_registered_algorithms(3sec).

Return Values

pkc_s_success
Operation successfully completed.

Errors
