PLAINTEXTKEYBLOB structure

The PLAINTEXTKEYBLOB structure is used to contain parameter header information for a plaintext key. This structure is used with the pbData parameter for CryptImportKey and CryptExportKey functions.

Syntax

typedef struct _PLAINTEXTKEYBLOB {
  BLOBHEADER hdr;
  DWORD      dwKeySize;
  BYTE       rgbKeyData[];
} PLAINTEXTKEYBLOB, *PPLAINTEXTKEYBLOB;
