gss_wrap(3GSS) Generic Security Services API Library Functions gss_wrap(3GSS) NAME
gss_wrap - attach a cryptographic message SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lgss [ library... ] #include <gssapi/gssapi.h> OM_uint32 gss_wrap(OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_ctx_id_t context_handle, int conf_req_flag, gss_qop_t qop_req, const gss_buffer_t input_message_buffer, int *conf_state, gss_buffer_t output_message_buffer); DESCRIPTION
The gss_wrap() function attaches a cryptographic MIC and optionally encrypts the specified input_message. The output_message contains both the MIC and the message. The qop_req parameter allows a choice between several cryptographic algorithms, if supported by the chosen mecha- nism. Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted by gss_wrap() to provide secure framing, the GSS-API supports the wrapping of zero-length messages. PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_wrap() follow: minor_status The status code returned by the underlying mechanism. context_handle Identifies the context on which the message will be sent. conf_req_flag If the value of conf_req_flag is non-zero, both confidentiality and integrity services are requested. If the value is zero, then only integrity service is requested. qop_req Specifies the required quality of protection. A mechanism-specific default may be requested by setting qop_req to GSS_C_QOP_DEFAULT. If an unsupported protection strength is requested, gss_wrap() will return a major_status of GSS_S_BAD_QOP. input_message_buffer The message to be protected. conf_state If the value of conf_state is non-zero, confidentiality, data origin authentication, and integrity services have been applied. If the value is zero, then integrity services have been applied. Specify NULL if this parameter is not required. output_message_buffer The buffer to receive the protected message. Storage associated with this message must be freed by the application after use with a call to gss_release_buffer(3GSS). ERRORS
gss_wrap() may return the following status codes: GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion. GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED The context has already expired. GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT The context_handle parameter did not identify a valid context. GSS_S_BAD_QOP The specified QOP is not supported by the mechanism. GSS_S_FAILURE The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific GSS status code is defined. The mechanism-spe- cific status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition. ATTRIBUTES

gss_wrap_size_limit(3GSS) Generic Security Services API Library Functions gss_wrap_size_limit(3GSS) NAME
gss_wrap_size_limit - allow application to determine maximum message size with resulting output token of a specified maximum size SYNOPSIS
cc -flag ... file ...-lgss [library ...] #include <gssapi/gssapi.h> OM_uint32 gss_process_context_token(OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_ctx_id_t context_handle, int conf_req_flag, gss_qop_t qop_req, OM_uint32 req_output_size, OM_uint32 *max_input_size); DESCRIPTION
The gss_wrap_size_limit() function allows an application to determine the maximum message size that, if presented to gss_wrap() with the same conf_req_flag and qop_req parameters, results in an output token containing no more than req_output_size bytes. This call is intended for use by applications that communicate over protocols that impose a maximum message size. It enables the application to fragment messages prior to applying protection. The GSS-API detects invalid QOP values when gss_wrap_size_limit() is called. This routine guarantees only a maximum message size, not the availability of specific QOP values for message protection. Successful completion of gss_wrap_size_limit() does not guarantee that gss_wrap() will be able to protect a message of length max_input_size bytes, since this ability might depend on the availability of system resources at the time that gss_wrap() is called. PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_wrap_size_limit() are as follows: minor_status A mechanism-specific status code. context_handle A handle that refers to the security over which the messages will be sent. conf_req_flag Indicates whether gss_wrap() will be asked to apply confidential protection in addition to integrity protection. See gss_wrap(3GSS) for more details. qop_req Indicates the level of protection that gss_wrap() will be asked to provide. See gss_wrap(3GSS) for more details. req_output_size The desired maximum size for tokens emitted by gss_wrap(). max_input_size The maximum input message size that can be presented to gss_wrap() to guarantee that the emitted token will be no larger than req_output_size bytes. ERRORS
gss_wrap_size_limit() returns one of the following status codes: GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion. GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT The referenced context could not be accessed. GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED The context has expired. GSS_S_BAD_QOP The specified QOP is not supported by the mechanism. GSS_S_FAILURE The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific GSS status code is defined. The mecha- nism-specific status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition. ATTRIBUTES
