- * psa_generator_import_key(). To open an existing persistent key, you must
- * call this function with the correct lifetime value before using the slot
- * for a cryptographic operation. Once a slot's lifetime has been set,
- * the lifetime remains associated with the slot until a subsequent call to
- * psa_set_key_lifetime(), until the key is wiped with psa_destroy_key or
- * until the application terminates (or disconnects from the cryptography
- * service, if the implementation offers such a possibility).
