gss_get_mic(3) Library Functions Manual gss_get_mic(3)
NAME
gss_get_mic() - calculate a cryptographic message integrity code (MIC) for a message and return in a token
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The routine generates a cryptographic message integrity code (MIC) for the supplied message and places the MIC in a token for trans-
fer to the peer application. The qop_req parameter allows a choice between several cryptographic algorithms, if supported by the
chosen mechanism.
Input Parameters
context_handle Specifies the context on which the message is sent.
qop_req Specifies the cryptographic algorithm, or quality of protection. To accept the default quality of protection offered
by the chosen mechanism specify
message_buffer Specifies the message to be protected.
Output Parameters
msg_token Buffer to receive the sealed message.
minor_status Returns a status code from the security mechanism.
STATUS CODES
The following status codes can be returned:
The routine was completed successfully.
The context has already expired.
The context is recognized but the associated
credentials have expired.
The context identified in the
context_handle parameter was not valid.
The specified QOP is not supported by the mechanism.
