NAME

sec_psm_put_pub_key — Store a public key pair . This routine is not available in the DCE binary code.  It is provided in DCE source for use by vendors. 

Synopsis

error_status_t sec_psm_put_pub_key(
sec_psm_handle_t psm_handle,
char ∗pwd,
sec_pk_usage_flags_t key_usage,
sec_pk_pvtkey_t ∗pvtkey,
sec_pk_pvtkey_t ∗pubkey,
error_status_t ∗status);

Parameters

Input

psm_handle
A pointer to an opaque handle to the personal security mechanism in which to store the key. Use sec_psm_open()  to obtain the handle. 

pwdA pointer to the password for the principal associated with the personal security mechanism. 

key_usageA sec_pk_usage_flags_t that contains the usage flag for the public key for the key pair specified by pubkey. 

pvtkeyA pointer to the ASN.1 DER-encoded private key. 

pubkeyA pointer to the ASN.1 DER-encoded public key. 

Output

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

Description

The sec_psm_put_pub_key() routine stores a public key pair.  In the reference implementation, the public key is stored in the registry and the private key in a personal security mechanism.  Key versions are not currently supported; only a single version of a key with a given key usage is maintained.
