# SecKeyWrapSymmetric(_:_:_:_:) Wraps a symmetric key with another key. ``` func SecKeyWrapSymmetric(_ keyToWrap: SecKey, _ wrappingKey: SecKey, _ parameters: CFDictionary, _ error: UnsafeMutablePointer?>?) -> CFData? ``` ## Parameters `keyToWrap` The key to wrap. `wrappingKey` The key to use when wrapping `keyToWrap`. `parameters` A parameter list for the unwrapping process. This is usually either an empty dictionary or a dictionary containing a value for [`kSecAttrSalt`](/documentation/Security/kSecAttrSalt). `error` A pointer to a variable where an error object is stored upon failure. If not `NULL`, the caller is responsible for checking this variable and releasing the resulting object if it exists. ## Return Value The wrapped key, or `NULL` on error.
