man shishi_string_to_key (3): API function

SYNOPSIS

#include <shishi.h>

int shishi_string_to_key(Shishi * handle, int32_t keytype, const char * password, size_t passwordlen, const char * salt, size_t saltlen, const char * parameter, Shishi_key * outkey);

ARGUMENTS

Shishi * handle: shishi handle as allocated by shishi_init().
int32_t keytype: cryptographic encryption type, see Shishi_etype.
const char * password: input array with password.
size_t passwordlen: length of input array with password.
const char * salt: input array with salt.
size_t saltlen: length of input array with salt.
const char * parameter: input array with opaque encryption type specific information.
Shishi_key * outkey: allocated key handle that will contain new key.

DESCRIPTION

Derive key from a string (password) and salt (commonly concatenation of realm and principal) for specified key type, and set the type and value in the given key to the computed values. The parameter value is specific for each keytype, and can be set if the parameter information is not available.

RETURN VALUE

Returns SHISHI_OK iff successful.
