Parameters

Input

psm_handle
A pointer to an opaque handle to the personal security context data. Use sec_psm_open( ) to obtain the handle.

encryptee_domain
A pointer to the application domain of the principal for which the data is encrypted.

encryptee_name
A pointer to the name of the principal for which the data is encrypted.

encryption_alg_id
The ASN.1 DER-encoded object ID of the encryption algorithm to use, such as RSA.

key_usage
A sec_pk_usage_flags_t that contains the usage flag for the public key specified by data.

clear_data
A pointer to ASN.1 DER-encoded data to be encrypted.

Input/Output

kvno
As input, the unsigned 32-bit version number of the key with which to encrypt the data. As output, the unsigned 32-bit version number of the key used to encrypt the data.

Output

cipher_data
A pointer to the encrypted data.

status
A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, the routine returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error.

Description

The sec_psm_encrypt_data( ) routine encrypts data by using a public key encryption mechanism. The encryption_alg_id parameter specifies the encryption algorithm. This routine allocates memory for cipher_data. Call thesec_pk_data_free( ) routine to deallocate that memory.
