dispcrypt

dispcrypt(3)						     Library Functions Manual						      dispcrypt(3)

NAME

       dispcrypt - encrypt a password, dispatching based on the associated algorithm (Enhanced Security)

LIBRARY

       Security Library (libsecurity.so)

       In order to quickstart a program, the program must be linked as follows:

	    -lsecurity -ldb -laud -lm

       See the shared library discussion in the Programmer's Guide for more information about using the quickstarting feature.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <prot.h>

       char *discprypt(
	    const char *plaintext,
	    const char *salt,
	    int algorithm_index);

PARAMETERS

       plaintext   The unencrypted password to be encrypted.

       salt	   A  string value which may be used as input to the selected encryption algorithm.  This parameter should be at least two charac-
		   ters in length, and null-terminated.  For password validation, it should be the encrypted password which is already in use.

       algorithm_index
		   A value from 0 to (get_num_crypts()-1), indicating which encryption algorithm is to be used.  For password validation, use  the
		   fd_oldcrypt	field  of  an es_passwd structure.  For password generation, use the fd_newcrypt field (and update the fd_oldcrypt
		   field at the same time as the fd_encrypt field if the change is successful).

DESCRIPTION

       The dispcrypt() function applies the specified encryption algorithm to the given password string and salt value, and returns the  encrypted
       form of the password.  The return value is static data which is overwritten on subsequent calls to this function or to the encryption algo-
       rithms which it calls, so callers should save a copy of the string unless the only use is an immediate comparison during  password  valida-
       tion.

RETURN VALUES

       This  routine returns NULL if there is an encryption failure.  Otherwise, it returns a pointer to static data, which is the null-terminated
       encrypted password result.
