GenerateRsaKeyPair

Generate an RSA key pair.

Synopsis

CK_RV GenerateRsaKeyPair(
CK_SESSION_HANDLE hSession,
char * txt,
int ftok,
int priv,
CK_SIZE modulusBits,
int expType,
CK_OBJECT_HANDLE * phPublicKey,
CK_OBJECT_HANDLE * phPrivateKey); 

Parameter	Description
hSession	Open session handle
txt	Optional label
ftok	1 for a Token object, 0 for Session object
priv	1 for private object, 0 for public object
modulusBits	Size of modulus to generate
expType	0 for random exponent, 1 for Fermat 4 exponent (\x00010001), 2 for smallest valid exponent (3)
phPublicKey	Reference to object handle to hold created public key
phPrivateKey	Reference to object handle to hold created private key

On Successful Return

*phPublicKey — handle to newly created public key

*phPrivateKey — handle to newly created private key
