key wrapping mechanisms and I'm looking for guidance on this.

As written before, you can only wrap an asymmetric (private) key with a
symmetric key and a symmetric keys with an asymmetric (public) key.

If you want to transmit an asymmetric private key from one place to
another, then you need to

1. Generate a symmetric transport key
2. Wrap the transport key using the public key for encryption of the
recipient
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!
