Constructors

constructor

Properties

class

class: ObjectClass

Object class (type)

derive

derive: boolean

CK_TRUE if key supports key derivation (i.e., if other keys can be derived from this one (default CK_FALSE)

  • May be modified after object is created with a C_SetAttributeValue call, or in the process of copying object with a C_CopyObject call. However, it is possible that a particular token may not permit modification of the attribute during the course of a C_CopyObject call.

Returns

boolean

encrypt

encrypt: boolean

true if key supports encryption

  • May be modified after object is created with a C_SetAttributeValue call, or in the process of copying object with a C_CopyObject call. However, it is possible that a particular token may not permit modification of the attribute during the course of a C_CopyObject call.
  • Default value is token-specific, and may depend on the values of other attributes.

endDate

endDate: Date

End date for the key (default empty)

  • May be modified after object is created with a C_SetAttributeValue call, or in the process of copying object with a C_CopyObject call. However, it is possible that a particular token may not permit modification of the attribute during the course of a C_CopyObject call.

handle

handle: Buffer

ID of PKCS#11 object

id

id: Buffer

Key identifier for key (default empty)

  • May be modified after object is created with a C_SetAttributeValue call, or in the process of copying object with a C_CopyObject call. However, it is possible that a particular token may not permit modification of the attribute during the course of a C_CopyObject call.

label

label: string

Description of the object (default empty)

lib

lib: PKCS11

PKCS#11 module

local

local: boolean

CK_TRUE only if key was either * generated locally (i.e., on the token) with a C_GenerateKey or C_GenerateKeyPair call * created with a C_CopyObject call as a copy of a key which had its CKA_LOCAL attribute set to CK_TRUE

  • Must not be specified when object is created with C_CreateObject.
  • Must not be specified when object is generated with C_GenerateKey or C_GenerateKeyPair.
  • Must not be specified when object is unwrapped with C_UnwrapKey.

mechanism

mechanism: KeyGenMechanism

Identifier of the mechanism used to generate the key material.

  • Must not be specified when object is created with C_CreateObject.
  • Must not be specified when object is generated with C_GenerateKey or C_GenerateKeyPair.
  • Must not be specified when object is unwrapped with C_UnwrapKey.

modifiable

modifiable: boolean

true if object can be modified. Default is false

private

private: boolean

true if object is a private object and false if object is a public object. Default value is token-specific, and may depend on the values of other attributes of the object.

session

session: Session

PKCS#11 session

startDate

startDate: Date

Start date for the key (default empty)

  • May be modified after object is created with a C_SetAttributeValue call, or in the process of copying object with a C_CopyObject call. However, it is possible that a particular token may not permit modification of the attribute during the course of a C_CopyObject call.

subject

subject: Buffer

DER-encoding of the key subject name (default empty)

  • May be modified after object is created with a C_SetAttributeValue call, or in the process of copying object with a C_CopyObject call. However, it is possible that a particular token may not permit modification of the attribute during the course of a C_CopyObject call.

token

token: boolean

true if object is a token object and false if object is a session object. Default is false.

trusted

trusted: boolean

The key can be trusted for the application that it was created.

  • The wrapping key can be used to wrap keys with CKA_WRAP_WITH_TRUSTED set to true.
  • Can only be set to CK_TRUE by the SO user.

type

type: KeyType

Type of key

  • Must be specified when object is created with C_CreateObject
  • Must be specified when object is unwrapped with C_UnwrapKey

verify

verify: boolean

true if key supports verification where the signature is an appendix to the data

  • May be modified after object is created with a C_SetAttributeValue call, or in the process of copying object with a C_CopyObject call. However, it is possible that a particular token may not permit modification of the attribute during the course of a C_CopyObject call.
  • Default value is token-specific, and may depend on the values of other attributes.

verifyRecover

verifyRecover: boolean

true if key supports verification where the data is recovered from the signature

  • May be modified after object is created with a C_SetAttributeValue call, or in the process of copying object with a C_CopyObject call. However, it is possible that a particular token may not permit modification of the attribute during the course of a C_CopyObject call.
  • Default value is token-specific, and may depend on the values of other attributes.

wrap

wrap: boolean

true if key supports wrapping (i.e., can be used to wrap other keys)

  • May be modified after object is created with a C_SetAttributeValue call, or in the process of copying object with a C_CopyObject call. However, it is possible that a particular token may not permit modification of the attribute during the course of a C_CopyObject call.
  • Default value is token-specific, and may depend on the values of other attributes.
