int R_CR_generate_key ( R_CR * crypto,

R_PKEY ** key

) ;

Generates a set of asymmetric keys.
Parameters:

crypto [In] A pointer to the cryptographic object.
Must be allocated the correct type and initialized by calls to R_CR_new() and R_CR_generate_key_init() respectively.

key [In] A pointer to the generated keys.

Returns:
R_ERROR_NONE indicates success.
See Error Identifiers for valid values.

R_CR_generate_key_init().

int R_CR_generate_key_init ( R_CR * crypto ) ;

Initializes a cryptographic operation for the generation of a set of asymmetric keys.
Parameters:

crypto [In] A pointer to the cryptographic object.
Must be allocated the correct type via R_CR_new().

Returns:
R_ERROR_NONE indicates success.
See Error Identifiers for valid values.

R_CR_generate_key().

int R_CR_generate_parameter ( R_CR * crypto,

R_PKEY ** parameters

) ;

Generates a set of parameters for an asymmetric or key agreement operation.
Parameters:

crypto [In] A pointer to the cryptographic object.
Must be allocated the correct type and initialized by calls to R_CR_new() and R_CR_generate_parameter_init() respectively.

parameters [Out] A pointer to the generated parameters.

Returns:
R_ERROR_NONE indicates success.
See Error Identifiers for valid values.
