26 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 27 | The functions here are used within the RPC's secure authentication | |
| c13182ef MK |
28 | mechanism (AUTH_DES). |
| 29 | There should be no need for user programs to | |
| fea681da MK |
30 | use this functions. |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | The function | |
| c13182ef MK |
33 | .BR key_decryptsession () |
| 34 | uses the (remote) server netname and takes the DES key | |
| 35 | for decrypting. | |
| 36 | It uses the public key of the server and the | |
| fea681da MK |
37 | secret key associated with the effective UID of the calling process. |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | The function | |
| 40 | .BR key_encryptsession () | |
| 41 | is the inverse of | |
| 42 | .BR key_decryptsession (). | |
| 43 | It encrypts the DES keys with the public key of the server and | |
| 0425de01 | 44 | the secret key associated with the effective UID of the calling process. |
| fea681da MK |
45 | |
| 46 | The function | |
| c13182ef | 47 | .BR key_gendes () |
| fea681da MK |
48 | is used to ask the keyserver for a secure conversation key. |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | The function | |
| c13182ef MK |
51 | .BR key_setsecret () |
| 52 | is used to set the key for the effective UID of the calling process. | |
| fea681da MK |
53 | |
| 54 | The function | |
| 55 | .BR key_secretkey_is_set () | |
| 56 | can be used to determine whether a key has been | |
| c13182ef | 57 | set for the effective UID of the calling process. |
| 47297adb | 58 | .SH RETURN VALUE |
| 2b2581ee | 59 | These functions return 1 on success and 0 on failure. |
| 19c98696 | 60 | .SH NOTES |
| c13182ef | 61 | Note that we talk about two types of encryption here. |
| 19c98696 | 62 | One is asymmetric using a public and secret key. |
| c13182ef | 63 | The other is symmetric, the |
| fea681da | 64 | 64-bit DES. |
