### Method

# Gck Session generate_key_pair

#### Declaration [src]

    gboolean
    gck_session_generate_key_pair (
      GckSession* self,
      gulong mech_type,
      GckAttributes* public_attrs,
      GckAttributes* private_attrs,
      GckObject** public_key,
      GckObject** private_key,
      GCancellable* cancellable,

#### Description [src]

Generate a new key pair of public and private keys. This call may block for an indefinite period.

#### Parameters

`mech_type`

  Type: `gulong`

  The mechanism type to use for key generation.

  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

`private_attrs`

  Type: `GckAttributes`

  Additional attributes for the generated private key.

  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

`public_key`

  Type: `GckObject`

  Location to return the resulting public key.

  The argument will be set by the function.
  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The instance takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.

`private_key`

  Type: `GckObject`

  Location to return the resulting private key.

  The argument will be set by the function.
  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The instance takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.

`cancellable`

  Type: `GCancellable`

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

`error`
