My understanding is that for step 2 I need something like CKM_RSA_PKCS_OAEP,
right?
The problem is that C_WrapKey in SoftHSM v2 doesn't support any asymmetric
algorithm for key wrapping. That is the reason why I asked for guidance while
implementing it :-)
Do you have any specific recommendation on that?
Thank you!
