CSSM_CSP_CreatePassThroughContext(3)CSSM_CSP_CreatePassThroughContext(3)NAMECSSM_CSP_CreatePassThroughContext - Create a custom cryptographic con‐
text (CDSA)
SYNOPSIS
# include <cdsa/cssm.h>
CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_CSP_CreatePassThroughContext (CSSM_CSP_HANDLE
CSPHandle, const CSSM_KEY *Key, CSSM_CC_HANDLE *NewContextHandle)
LIBRARY
Common Security Services Manager library (libcssm.so)
PARAMETERS
The handle that describes the add-in cryptographic service provider
module used to perform this function. If a NULL handle is specified,
CSSM returns an error. The key to be used for the context. The caller
passes a pointer to a CSSM_KEY structure containing the key. Crypto‐
graphic context handle.
DESCRIPTION
This function creates a custom cryptographic context, given a handle of
a CSP and a pointer to a custom input data structure. The cryptographic
context handle is returned. The cryptographic context handle can be
used to call the CSSM pass-through function for the CSP.
NOTES
A CSP can create its own set of custom functions. The context informa‐
tion can be passed through its own data structure. The
CSSM_CSP_PassThrough() function should be used with the function ID to
call the desired custom function.
RETURN VALUE
A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particular error
condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other values repre‐
sent an error condition.
