NAME
       PKCS12create - create a PKCS#12 structure

SYNOPSIS
        #include 

        PKCS12 *PKCS12create(char *pass, char *name, EVPPKEY *pkey, X509 *cert, STACKOF(X509) *ca,
                                       int nidkey, int nidcert, int iter, int maciter, int keytype);

DESCRIPTION
       PKCS12create() creates a PKCS#12 structure.

       ppaassss is the passphrase to use. nnaammee is the ffrriieennddllyyNNaammee to use for the
       supplied certifictate and key. ppkkeeyy is the private key to include in
       the structure and cceerrtt its corresponding certificates. ccaa, if not NNUULLLL
       is an optional set of certificates to also include in the structure.

       nniiddkkeeyy and nniiddcceerrtt are the encryption algorithms that should be used
       for the key and certificate respectively. iitteerr is the encryption
       algorithm iteration count to use and mmaacciitteerr is the MAC iteration
       count to use.  kkeeyyttyyppee is the type of key.

NNOOTTEESS
       The parameters nniiddkkeeyy, nniiddcceerrtt, iitteerr, mmaacciitteerr and kkeeyyttyyppee can all be
       set to zero and sensible defaults will be used.

       These defaults are: 40 bit RC2 encryption for certificates, triple DES
       encryption for private keys, a key iteration count of
       PKCS12DEFAULTITER (currently 2048) and a MAC iteration count of 1.

       The default MAC iteration count is 1 in order to retain compatibility
       with old software which did not interpret MAC iteration counts. If such
       compatibility is not required then mmaacciitteerr should be set to
       PKCS12DEFAULTITER.

       kkeeyyttyyppee adds a flag to the store private key. This is a non standard
       extension that is only currently interpreted by MSIE. If set to zero
       the flag is omitted, if set to KKEEYYSSIIGG the key can be used for signing
       only, if set to KKEEYYEEXX it can be used for signing and encryption. This
       option was useful for old export grade software which could use signing
       only keys of arbitrary size but had restrictions on the permissible
       sizes of keys which could be used for encryption.
