# DESCRIPTION

PKCS12_SAFEBAG_create_cert() creates a new PKCS12_SAFEBAG of type NID_certBag containing the supplied certificate.

PKCS12_SAFEBAG_create_crl() creates a new PKCS12_SAFEBAG of type NID_crlBag containing the supplied crl.

PKCS12_SAFEBAG_create_secret() creates a new PKCS12_SAFEBAG of type corresponding to a PKCS#12 secretBag. The secretBag contents are tagged as type with an ASN1 value of type vtype constructed using the bytes in value of length len.

PKCS12_SAFEBAG_create0_p8inf() creates a new PKCS12_SAFEBAG of type NID_keyBag containing the supplied PKCS8 structure.

PKCS12_SAFEBAG_create0_pkcs8() creates a new PKCS12_SAFEBAG of type NID_pkcs8ShroudedKeyBag containing the supplied PKCS8 structure.

PKCS12_SAFEBAG_create_pkcs8_encrypt() creates a new PKCS12_SAFEBAG of type NID_pkcs8ShroudedKeyBag by encrypting the supplied PKCS8 p8inf. If pbe_nid is 0, a default encryption algorithm is used. pass is the passphrase and iter is the iteration count. If iter is zero then a default value of 2048 is used. If salt is NULL then a salt is generated randomly.

PKCS12_SAFEBAG_create_pkcs8_encrypt_ex() is identical to PKCS12_SAFEBAG_create_pkcs8_encrypt() but allows for a library context ctx and property query propq to be used to select algorithm implementations.

# NOTES

PKCS12_SAFEBAG_create_pkcs8_encrypt() makes assumptions regarding the encoding of the given pass phrase. See passphrase-encoding(7) for more information.

PKCS12_SAFEBAG_create_secret() was added in OpenSSL 3.0.

# RETURN VALUES

All of these functions return a valid PKCS12_SAFEBAG structure or NULL if an error occurred.
