typedef struct SECAlgorithmIDStr | SECAlgorithmID | The structure containing two SECItems which identify the X.500 algorithm. |
| typedef struct SECItemStr | SECItem | Generic container used to hold type of data, actual data content, and length of data. | |
| typedef struct SECKEYLowPrivateKeyStr | SECKEYLowPrivateKey | Generic container used for low-level private key structures including RSA and DSA private keys. This structure is used below the PKCS #11 service layer and contains the actual private key. | |

| Encryption/ Decryption |
typedef struct DESContextStr | DESContext | The structure representing the context of a DES encryption/decryption containing an encrypt/decrypt flag, space for up to three distinct keys, space for the carry-forward needed for CBC modes of DES, and function pointers to the appropriate encryption and decryption functions associated with that mode of DES. |
| Hashing | typedef struct SHA1ContextStr | SHA1Context | The structure representing the context of a SHA-1 hash containing information relevant to performing a SHA-1 hash. |
| Key Generation |
typedef struct PQGParamsStr | PQGParams | The structure representing the context of a digital signature key generation containing multiple items including pointers to both low-level public and private key structures containing the public and private portions of the DSA key pair. |
| typedef struct PQGVerifyStr | PQGVerify | The structure representing the context of a digital signature containing data associated with the verification (in terms of validity) of a set of parameters contained in a DSA key pair. | |
