Cryptographic Context APIs

The Cryptographic Context APIs are used to temporarily store the key and algorithm information for cryptographic operations.

The Cryptographic Context APIs include:

Create Algorithm Context (QC3CRTAX, Qc3CreateAlgorithmContext) creates a temporary area for holding the algorithm parameters and the state of the cryptographic operation.
Create Key Context (QC3CRTKX, Qc3CreateKeyContext) creates a temporary area for holding a cryptographic key.
Destroy Algorithm Context (QC3DESAX, Qc3DestroyAlgorithmContext) destroys the algorithm context created with the Create Algorithm Context (OPM: QC3CRTAX; ILE: Qc3CreateAlgorithmContext) API.
Destroy Key Context (QC3DESKX, Qc3DestroyKeyContext) destroys the key context created with the Create Key Context (OPM: QC3CRTKX; ILE: Qc3CreateKeyContext) API.
