Secure element driver registration

Description

Data Structures

struct psa_drv_se_t
A structure containing pointers to all the entry points of a secure element driver.

Functions

psa_status_t psa_register_se_driver ( psa_key_location_t location, const psa_drv_se_t *methods)
Register an external cryptoprocessor (secure element) driver.

Macros

#define PSA_DRV_SE_HAL_VERSION 0x00000005
The current version of the secure element driver HAL.

Function Documentation

psa_register_se_driver()

psa_status_t psa_register_se_driver ( psa_key_location_t location,
const psa_drv_se_t * methods
)

Register an external cryptoprocessor (secure element) driver.

This function is only intended to be used by driver code, not by application code. In implementations with separation between the PSA cryptography module and applications, this function should only be available to callers that run in the same memory space as the cryptography module, and should not be exposed to applications running in a different memory space.

This function may be called before psa_crypto_init() . It is implementation-defined whether this function may be called after psa_crypto_init() .

Note
Implementations store metadata about keys including the lifetime value, which contains the driver's location indicator. Therefore, from one instantiation of the PSA Cryptography library to the next one, if there is a key in storage with a certain lifetime value, you must always register the same driver (or an updated version that communicates with the same secure element) with the same location value.
Parameters
location The location value through which this driver will be exposed to applications. This driver will be used for all keys such that location == #PSA_KEY_LIFETIME_GET_LOCATION( lifetime ) . The value PSA_KEY_LOCATION_LOCAL_STORAGE is reserved and may not be used for drivers. Implementations may reserve other values.
[in] methods The method table of the driver. This structure must remain valid for as long as the cryptography module keeps running. It is typically a global constant.
Returns
PSA_SUCCESS The driver was successfully registered. Applications can now use location to access keys through the methods passed to this function.
PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE This function was called after the initialization of the cryptography module, and this implementation does not support driver registration at this stage.
PSA_ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS There is already a registered driver for this value of location .
PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT location is a reserved value.
PSA_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED methods->hal_version is not supported by this implementation.
PSA_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY
PSA_ERROR_NOT_PERMITTED
PSA_ERROR_STORAGE_FAILURE
PSA_ERROR_DATA_CORRUPT
