The current version of the secure element driver HAL.

Definition at line 1330 of file crypto_se_driver.h.

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_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 lifetime 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 lifetime.

PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT lifetime 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
