.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fIPKCS12_create()\fR creates a PKCS#12 structure.
.PP
\&\fBpass\fR is the passphrase to use. \fBname\fR is the \fBfriendlyName\fR to use for
the supplied certificate and key. \fBpkey\fR is the private key to include in
the structure and \fBcert\fR its corresponding certificates. \fBca\fR, if not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR
is an optional set of certificates to also include in the structure.
.PP
\&\fBnid_key\fR and \fBnid_cert\fR are the encryption algorithms that should be used
for the key and certificate respectively. The modes
\&\s-1GCM, CCM, XTS,\s0 and \s-1OCB\s0 are unsupported. \fBiter\fR is the encryption algorithm
iteration count to use and \fBmac_iter\fR is the \s-1MAC\s0 iteration count to use.
\&\fBkeytype\fR is the type of key.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The parameters \fBnid_key\fR, \fBnid_cert\fR, \fBiter\fR, \fBmac_iter\fR and \fBkeytype\fR
can all be set to zero and sensible defaults will be used.
.PP
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.
.PP
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 \fBmac_iter\fR should be set to \s-1PKCS12_DEFAULT_ITER.\s0
.PP
\&\fBkeytype\fR 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 \fB\s-1KEY_SIG\s0\fR the key can be used for signing only, if set to \fB\s-1KEY_EX\s0\fR
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.
.PP
If a certificate contains an \fBalias\fR or \fBkeyid\fR then this will be
used for the corresponding \fBfriendlyName\fR or \fBlocalKeyID\fR in the
\&\s-1PKCS12\s0 structure.
.PP
Either \fBpkey\fR, \fBcert\fR or both can be \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR to indicate that no key or
certificate is required. In previous versions both had to be present or
a fatal error is returned.
.PP
\&\fBnid_key\fR or \fBnid_cert\fR can be set to \-1 indicating that no encryption
should be used.
.PP
\&\fBmac_iter\fR can be set to \-1 and the \s-1MAC\s0 will then be omitted entirely.
.PP
\&\fIPKCS12_create()\fR makes assumptions regarding the encoding of the given pass
phrase.
See \fIpassphrase\-encoding\fR\|(7) for more information.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fIPKCS12_create()\fR returns a valid \fB\s-1PKCS12\s0\fR structure or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurred.
