NAME

kcapi_akcipher_setpubkey - set the public key for the cipher handle

SYNOPSIS

int kcapi_akcipher_setpubkey(struct kcapi_handle * handle, const uint8_t * key, uint32_t keylen);

ARGUMENTS

handle

key

keylen

DESCRIPTION

With this function, the caller sets the key for subsequent cipher operations.

The key must be in DER format as follows

SEQUENCE { n INTEGER ({ rsa_get_n }), e INTEGER ({ rsa_get_e }) }

After the caller provided the key, the caller may securely destroy the key as it is now maintained by the kernel.

return upon success the value of the maximum size for the asymmetric operation is returned (e.g. the modulus size); a negative errno-style error code if an error occurred
