PKCS12_create(3) 9/Oct/2002 (0.9.7e) PKCS12_create(3)
NAME
PKCS12_create - create a PKCS#12 structure
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/pkcs12.h>
PKCS12 *PKCS12_create(char *pass, char *name, EVP_PKEY *pkey, X509 *cert, STACK_OF(X509) *ca,
int nid_key, int nid_cert, int iter, int mac_iter, int keytype);
DESCRIPTION
PKCS12_create() creates a PKCS#12 structure.
pass is the passphrase to use. name is the friendlyName to
use for the supplied certifictate and key. pkey is the
private key to include in the structure and cert its
corresponding certificates. ca, if not NULL is an optional
set of certificates to also include in the structure.
nid_key and nid_cert are the encryption algorithms that
should be used for the key and certificate respectively.
iter is the encryption algorithm iteration count to use and
mac_iter is the MAC iteration count to use. keytype is the
type of key.
NOTES
The parameters nid_key, nid_cert, iter, mac_iter and keytype
can all be set to zero and sensible defaults will be used.
These defaults are: 40 bit RC2 encryption for certificates,
triple DES encryption for private keys, a key iteration
count of PKCS12_DEFAULT_ITER (currently 2048) and a MAC
iteration count of 1.
The default MAC iteration count is 1 in order to retain
compatibility with old software which did not interpret MAC
iteration counts. If such compatibility is not required then
mac_iter should be set to PKCS12_DEFAULT_ITER.
keytype adds a flag to the store private key. This is a non
standard extension that is only currently interpreted by
MSIE. If set to zero the flag is omitted, if set to KEY_SIG
the key can be used for signing only, if set to KEY_EX it
can be used for signing and encryption. This option was
useful for old export grade software which could use signing
only keys of arbitrary size but had restrictions on the
permissible sizes of keys which could be used for
encryption.
