The key_len is a pointer to an int where the length of the key will be returned.

Returns 0 on success or one of the following errors ( < 0 ):

ILLEGAL_GROUP: The group given was illegal for some reason. Usually because it was of length 0 or length > MAX_GROUP_NAME, or because the group is changing and is computing a new key, so there is no valid key.
