Home- pki = cipher.pki([ciphersuite[, padding[, hash]]])
- pki:close()
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The Core4 system includes a copy of mbed TLS.
This function creates an object for working with public/private key pairs.
The object can store a single public or private key.
After creation, the object is initialized for a specific ciphersuite, but contains no key.
The default object is created with the RSA ciphersuite, using PKCS V15 padding and a SHA256 hash.
The listed ciphersuites by mbedTLS are: RSA, EC, ECDH, ECDSA.
Padding options are either V15 or V21.
Supported hashes are: MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, RIPEMD160.
Closing the object discards all stored key data. After closing, the object becomes unusable.
RETURN VALUE
A pki key storage instance.
