    dwKeyLength : uint, 
    szFile : String, 
    szPassword : String, 
    szSubjectName : String
) : int

Parameters

  • pszAlgorithmID
    Type: String

    [in] The encryption algorithm identifier. If null is passed in for this parameter, the default SHA-256 algorithm is used.

  • dwKeyLength
    Type: UInt32

    [in] The length of the encryption key. If zero (0) is passed in for this parameter, the system default key length is used.

  • szFile
    Type: String

    [in] The file in which to store the encryption key.

  • szPassword
    Type: String

    [in] The password for the key being generated.

  • szSubjectName
    Type: String

    [in] The name that goes after “CN=” in the certificate name.

Return Value

Type: Int32
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Remarks

This member only supports specifying those cryptographic algorithms for which CRYPT_OBJID_BLOB is zero (see the CRYPT_ALGORITHM_IDENTIFIER structure for more information).
