Generating a Key (C/C++)

This topic walks you through on how to randomly generate an ECC key. For details about the scenarios and supported algorithms, see Supported Algorithms.

NOTE
Key aliases must not contain sensitive information, such as personal data.

Adding the Dynamic Library in the CMake Script

   target_link_libraries(entry PUBLIC libhuks_ndk.z.so)

How to Develop

Set the alias (keyAlias) of the key to generate.
- The key alias cannot exceed 128 bytes.
- For the keys generated for different services, HUKS isolates the storage paths based on the service identity information to prevent conflicts caused by the same key alias.
Initialize the key property set. Construct the key property set paramSet using OH_Huks_InitParamSet, OH_Huks_AddParams, and OH_Huks_BuildParamSet. paramSet must contain OH_Huks_KeyAlg, OH_Huks_KeySize, and OH_Huks_KeyPurpose.

NOTE
A key can have only one purpose (HUKS_TAG_PURPOSE), and the purpose must be the same in the lifecycle of the key. For details, see key usage.

Use OH_Huks_GenerateKeyItem to generate a key based on the key alias and key properties specified.

NOTE

If the service uses the same key alias to call the HUKS API to generate a key again, HUKS will generate a new key and overwrite the historical key file.
