NAME

CSSM_GenerateMacFinal

SYNOPSIS

CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_GenerateMacFinal
    (CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
    CSSM_DATA_PTR Mac)

DESCRIPTION

This function finalizes the staged message authentication code function.

PARAMETERS

CCHandle (input)

The handle that describes the context of this cryptographic operation used to link to the CSP-managed information.

Mac (output)

A pointer to the CSSM_DATA structure for the message authentication code.

RETURN VALUE

A CSSM return value. This function returns CSSM_OK if successful, and returns an error code if an error has occurred.

ERRORS

CSSM__CSP_INVALID_CONTEXT_HANDLE

Invalid context handle.

CSSM__CSP_INVALID_DATA_POINTER

Invalid output CSSM_DATA pointer.

CSSM__CSP_INVALID_DATA

Invalid output CSSM_DATA buffer.

CSSM__CSP_NOT_ENOUGH_BUFFER

The output buffer is not big enough.

CSSM__CSP_MEMORY_ERROR

Not enough memory to allocate.

CSSM__CSP_STAGED_OPERATION_UNSUPPORTED

Staged operation unsupported.

CSSM__CSP_STAGED_OPERATION_FAILED

Staged Cryptographic operation failed.

Comments

The output is returned to the caller either by filling the caller-specified buffer or by using the application's declared memory allocation functions to allocate buffer space. To specify a specific, pre-allocated output buffer, the caller must provide an array of one or more CSSM_DATA structures each one containing a Length field value greater than zero and a non-NULL Data pointer field value. To specify automatic output buffer allocation by the CSP, the caller must provide an array of one or more CSSM_DATA structures each containing a Length field value equal to zero and a NULL Data pointer field value. The application is always responsible for de-allocating the memory when it is no longer needed. If the CSSM_DATA_PTR parameter is NULL (that is, does not point to an array of CSSM_DATA structures) or the number of CSSM_DATA structures is specified as zero, the error code CSSM_CSP_INVALID_DATA_POINTER is returned.
