NAME
gss_get_mic - API function SYNOPSIS
#include <gss.h> OM_uint32 gss_get_mic(OM_uint32 * minor_status, const gss_ctx_id_t context_handle, gss_qop_t qop_req, const gss_buffer_t message_buffer, gss_buffer_t message_token); ARGUMENTS
OM_uint32 * minor_status (Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code. const gss_ctx_id_t context_handle (gss_ctx_id_t, read) Identifies the context on which the message will be sent. gss_qop_t qop_req (gss_qop_t, read, optional) Specifies requested quality of protection. Callers are encouraged, on portability grounds, to accept the default quality of protection offered by the chosen mechanism, which may be requested by specifying GSS_C_QOP_DEFAULT for this parameter. If an unsupported protection strength is requested, gss_get_mic will return a major_status of GSS_S_BAD_QOP. const gss_buffer_t message_buffer (buffer, opaque, read) Message to be protected. gss_buffer_t message_token (buffer, opaque, modify) Buffer to receive token. The application must free storage associated with this buffer after use with a call to gss_release_buffer(). DESCRIPTION
Generates a cryptographic MIC for the supplied message, and places the MIC in a token for transfer to the peer application. The qop_req parameter allows a choice between several cryptographic algorithms, if supported by the chosen mechanism. Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted by gss_wrap() to provide "secure framing", implementations must sup- port derivation of MICs from zero-length messages. RETURN VALUE
`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. REPORTING BUGS

NAME
gss_wrap - API function SYNOPSIS
#include <gss.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); ARGUMENTS
OM_uint32 * minor_status (Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code. const gss_ctx_id_t context_handle (gss_ctx_id_t, read) Identifies the context on which the message will be sent. int conf_req_flag (boolean, read) Non-zero - Both confidentiality and integrity services are requested. Zero - Only integrity service is requested. gss_qop_t qop_req (gss_qop_t, read, optional) Specifies 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. const gss_buffer_t input_message_buffer (buffer, opaque, read) Message to be protected. int * conf_state (boolean, modify, optional) Non-zero - Confidentiality, data origin authentication and integrity services have been applied. Zero - Integrity and data origin services only has been applied. Specify NULL if not required. gss_buffer_t output_message_buffer (buffer, opaque, modify) Buffer to receive protected message. Storage associated with this message must be freed by the application after use with a call to gss_release_buffer(). DESCRIPTION
Attaches a cryptographic MIC and optionally encrypts the specified input_message. The output_message contains both the MIC and the mes- sage. The qop_req parameter allows a choice between several cryptographic algorithms, if supported by the chosen mechanism. Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted by gss_wrap() to provide "secure framing", implementations must sup- port the wrapping of zero-length messages. RETURN VALUE
`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. REPORTING BUGS
