.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. | will give a
real vertical bar. \*(C+ will give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used
to do unbreakable dashes and therefore won't be available. \*(C` and
\*(C' expand to `' in nroff, nothing in troff, for use with C<>

If the F register is turned on, we'll generate index entries on stderr
for titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.Sh), items (.Ip), and
index entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process
the output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it
makes way too many mistakes in technical documents.

Title "PKCS12_create 3"
PKCS12_create 3 "0.9.7d" "2004-03-17" "OpenSSL"

"NAME"
PKCS12_create - create a PKCS#12 structure
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/pkcs12.h> .Ve .Vb 2 PKCS12 *PKCS12_create(char *pass, char *name, EVP_PKEY *pkey, X509 *cert, STACK_OF(X509) *ca, int nid_key, int nid_cert, int iter, int mac_iter, int keytype); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fIPKCS12_create() creates a PKCS#12 structure.

\fBpass is the passphrase to use. name is the friendlyName to use for the supplied certifictate and key. pkey is the private key to include in the structure and cert its corresponding certificates. ca, if not \s-1NULL\s0 is an optional set of certificates to also include in the structure.

\fBnid_key and nid_cert are the encryption algorithms that should be used for the key and certificate respectively. iter is the encryption algorithm iteration count to use and mac_iter is the \s-1MAC\s0 iteration count to use. \fBkeytype is the type of key.

"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" The parameters nid_key, nid_cert, iter, mac_iter and keytype can all be set to zero and sensible defaults will be used.

These defaults are: 40 bit \s-1RC2\s0 encryption for certificates, triple \s-1DES\s0 encryption for private keys, a key iteration count of \s-1PKCS12_DEFAULT_ITER\s0 (currently 2048) and a \s-1MAC\s0 iteration count of 1.

The default \s-1MAC\s0 iteration count is 1 in order to retain compatibility with old software which did not interpret \s-1MAC\s0 iteration counts. If such compatibility is not required then mac_iter should be set to \s-1PKCS12_DEFAULT_ITER\s0.

\fBkeytype adds a flag to the store private key. This is a non standard extension that is only currently interpreted by \s-1MSIE\s0. If set to zero the flag is omitted, if set to \s-1KEY_SIG\s0 the key can be used for signing only, if set to \s-1KEY_EX\s0 it can be used for signing and encryption. This option was useful for old export grade software which could use signing only keys of arbitrary size but had restrictions on the permissible sizes of keys which could be used for encryption.
