Generate Method
Generates a new single PGP key.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int Generate(); Unicode (Windows) INT Generate();
- (void)generate;
#define MID_PGPKEYMANAGER_GENERATE 14 SECUREBLACKBOX_EXTERNAL int SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL SecureBlackbox_PGPKeyManager_Do(void *lpObj, int methid, int cparam, void *param[], int cbparam[], int64 *lpllVal);
Remarks
Call this method after setting up relevant fields of Key to generate a new PGP key. This method generates a 'standalone' key without subkeys. Use GeneratePair to generate a pair of a main key and a subkey.
Most PGP implementations work with pairs of keys: the sign-only primary key and the encrypt-only (or encrypt-and-sign) subkey. If you need to generate a conformant PGP key to use with other PGP software, you likely need to use the GeneratePair method.
Error Handling (C++)
This method returns a 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. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
