Thanks for the explanation...it makes sense to me now that
I understand (a modicum) of the request flow...
--daulat
p.s.The question was raised because of the following code
in keytools.c: when I ran in debugger mode, I saw that my
request was returned with an error here...but the secapi.c
code has a different logic path... my problem was that I
didn't know how the encryption processing/flow worked
and allowed myself to be confused...

Um... I'm confused by the question.
generate_ku takes a hashing algorithm as an argument and uses *that* to
generate a key which can then be used for either the authentication key or
the encryption key (or both). You can't generate keys using an encryption
algorithm....
Example: lets say you have a user "fred" with SHA1 and AES protocols defined
for that user. The authentication key is calculated using
SHA1 of a pass-phrase, and the AES key is calculated using SHA1 of a
potentially different pass-phrase. They key is then used by AES to actually
do the encryption.
