NAME
gnutls_pkcs8_info - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/x509.h>
int gnutls_pkcs8_info(const gnutls_datum_t * data, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t
format, unsigned int * schema, unsigned int * cipher, void * salt, un-
signed int * salt_size, unsigned int * iter_count, char ** oid);
ARGUMENTS
const gnutls_datum_t * data
Holds the PKCS 8 data
gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format
the format of the PKCS 8 data
unsigned int * schema
indicate the schema as one of gnutls_pkcs_encrypt_flags_t
unsigned int * cipher
the cipher used as gnutls_cipher_algorithm_t
void * salt PBKDF2 salt (if non-NULL then salt_size initially holds its
size)
unsigned int * salt_size
PBKDF2 salt size
unsigned int * iter_count
PBKDF2 iteration count
char ** oid if non-NULL it will contain an allocated null-terminated
variable with the OID
DESCRIPTION
This function will provide information on the algorithms used in a par-
ticular PKCS 8 structure. If the structure algorithms are unknown the
code GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_CIPHER_TYPE will be returned, and only oid , will
be set. That is, oid will be set on encrypted PKCS 8 structures whether
supported or not. It must be deinitialized using gnutls_free(). The
other variables are only set on supported structures.
RETURNS
GNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST if the provided structure isn't an encrypted
key, GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_CIPHER_TYPE if the structure's encryption isn't
supported, or another negative error code in case of a failure. Zero on
success.
SINCE
3.4.0
