BCryptAddContextFunction function

[BCryptAddContextFunction is available for use in the operating systems specified in the Requirements section. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions.]

The BCryptAddContextFunction function adds a cryptographic function to the list of functions that are supported by an existing CNG context.

Syntax

NTSTATUS WINAPI BCryptAddContextFunction(
  _In_ ULONG   dwTable,
  _In_ LPCWSTR pszContext,
  _In_ ULONG   dwInterface,
  _In_ LPCWSTR pszFunction,
  _In_ ULONG   dwPosition
);

Parameters

dwTable [in]

Identifies the configuration table that the context exists in. This can be one of the following values.

Value	Meaning
CRYPT_LOCAL	The context exists in the local-machine configuration table.
CRYPT_DOMAIN	This value is not available for use.

 

pszContext [in]

A pointer to a null-terminated Unicode string that contains the identifier of the context to add the function to.

dwInterface [in]

Identifies the cryptographic interface to add the function to. This can be one of the following values.

Value	Meaning
BCRYPT_ASYMMETRIC_ENCRYPTION_INTERFACE	Add the function to the list of asymmetric encryption functions.
BCRYPT_CIPHER_INTERFACE	Add the function to the list of cipher functions.
BCRYPT_HASH_INTERFACE	Add the function to the list of hash functions.
BCRYPT_RNG_INTERFACE	Add the function to the list of random number generator functions.
BCRYPT_SECRET_AGREEMENT_INTERFACE	Add the function to the list of secret agreement functions.
BCRYPT_SIGNATURE_INTERFACE	Add the function to the list of signature functions.
NCRYPT_KEY_STORAGE_INTERFACE	Add the function to the list of key storage functions.
NCRYPT_SCHANNEL_INTERFACE	Add the function to the list of Schannel functions.
NCRYPT_SCHANNEL_SIGNATURE_INTERFACE	Add the function to the list of signature suites that Schannel will accept for TLS 1.2. Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008:  This value is not supported.

 

pszFunction [in]

A pointer to a null-terminated Unicode string that contains the identifier of the cryptographic function to add.

dwPosition [in]

Specifies the position in the list at which to insert this function. The function is inserted at this position ahead of any existing functions. The CRYPT_PRIORITY_TOP value is used to insert the function at the top of the list. The CRYPT_PRIORITY_BOTTOM value is used to insert the function at the end of the list.

Return value

Returns a status code that indicates the success or failure of the function.

Possible return codes include, but are not limited to, the following.

Remarks

If the function added is already in the list, it will be removed and inserted at the new position.

BCryptAddContextFunction can be called only in user mode.
