Function esp_idf_hal::sys::psa_open_key

pub unsafe extern "C" fn psa_open_key(
    key: u32,
    handle: *mut u32,
) -> i32

Open a handle to an existing persistent key.

Open a handle to a persistent key. A key is persistent if it was created with a lifetime other than #PSA_KEY_LIFETIME_VOLATILE. A persistent key always has a nonzero key identifier, set with psa_set_key_id() when creating the key. Implementations may provide additional pre-provisioned keys that can be opened with psa_open_key(). Such keys have an application key identifier in the vendor range, as documented in the description of #psa_key_id_t.

The application must eventually close the handle with psa_close_key() or psa_destroy_key() to release associated resources. If the application dies without calling one of these functions, the implementation should perform the equivalent of a call to psa_close_key().

Some implementations permit an application to open the same key multiple times. If this is successful, each call to psa_open_key() will return a different key handle.

\note This API is not part of the PSA Cryptography API Release 1.0.0 specification. It was defined in the 1.0 Beta 3 version of the specification but was removed in the 1.0.0 released version. This API is kept for the time being to not break applications relying on it. It is not deprecated yet but will be in the near future.

\note Applications that rely on opening a key multiple times will not be portable to implementations that only permit a single key handle to be opened. See also :ref:`key-handles`.

\param key The persistent identifier of the key. \param[out] handle On success, a handle to the key.

\retval #PSA_SUCCESS Success. The application can now use the value of *handle to access the key. \retval #PSA_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY The implementation does not have sufficient resources to open the key. This can be due to reaching an implementation limit on the number of open keys, the number of open key handles, or available memory. \retval #PSA_ERROR_DOES_NOT_EXIST There is no persistent key with key identifier \p key. \retval #PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT \p key is not a valid persistent key identifier. \retval #PSA_ERROR_NOT_PERMITTED The specified key exists, but the application does not have the permission to access it. Note that this specification does not define any way to create such a key, but it may be possible through implementation-specific means. \retval #PSA_ERROR_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE \emptydescription \retval #PSA_ERROR_CORRUPTION_DETECTED \emptydescription \retval #PSA_ERROR_STORAGE_FAILURE \emptydescription \retval #PSA_ERROR_DATA_INVALID \emptydescription \retval #PSA_ERROR_DATA_CORRUPT \emptydescription \retval #PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE The library has not been previously initialized by psa_crypto_init(). It is implementation-dependent whether a failure to initialize results in this error code.
