💅 pskc_set_key_policy_pinminlength — the libpskc glow-up you didn't know you needed

Okay so real talk, bestie, this is a page from libpskc, and it's about setting one tiny but iconic little policy knob. Buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pskc_set_key_policy_pinminlength — it's an API function, and it's here to set your PIN minimum length vibe. No cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <pskc.h>

void pskc_set_key_policy_pinminlength(pskc_key_t * key, uint32_t
minlength);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pskc_key_t * key — a pskc_key_t handle, and you get it from pskc_get_keypackage(). That's the whole origin story. 🫶
  • uint32_t minlength — the length you wanna set. Literally just the number. Slay.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this sets the PSKC KeyPackage Key Policy PINPolicy MinLength value. Big name, small job, main character energy honestly.

This attribute is the minimum length of a PIN that can be set to protect the associated key. And listen — it MUST NOT be possible to set a PIN shorter than this value. That's not a suggestion, that's the rule, periodt. 🚫

Now here's the cute part where the meaning shifts depending on the format:

  • If the 'PINFormat' attribute is set to 'DECIMAL', 'HEXADECIMAL', or 'ALPHANUMERIC', then this value indicates the number of digits/characters. 🔢
  • If the 'PINFormat' attribute is set to 'BASE64' or 'BINARY', then this value indicates the number of bytes of the unencoded value. 💀 (yes, bytes, not characters — different beast entirely, iykyk)

⭐ SINCE ⭐

2.2.0 — she's been around, she's established, she's iconic. 👑

Fr fr though — don't sleep on that MinLength value. If it's set, a shorter PIN literally must not be allowed. That's the whole point of her. 💅
