GenerateKey Method

Generates a symmetric key or an asymmetric key pair on the KMIP server.

Syntax

• C++
• Objective-C
• C

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GenerateKey(const char* lpszKeyAlgorithm, int iKeyLength, const char* lpszId);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GenerateKey(LPCWSTR lpszKeyAlgorithm, INT iKeyLength, LPCWSTR lpszId);

- (NSString*)generateKey:(NSString*)keyAlgorithm :(int)keyLength :(NSString*)id;

#define MID_KMIPCLIENT_GENERATEKEY 11

SECUREBLACKBOX_EXTERNAL int SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL SecureBlackbox_KMIPClient_Do(void *lpObj, int methid, int cparam, void *param[], int cbparam[], int64 *lpllVal);

Remarks

Use KeyAlgorithm and KeyLength to indicate the desired algorithm and key length. Provide an identifier (name) of the new key via the Id parameter.

The method returns the Id assigned by the server to the new key object. This may differ from the one you supplied.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
