NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     krb5_crypto_init, krb5_crypto_destroy -- initialize encryption context

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

     Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <krb5.h>

     krb5_error_code
     krb5_crypto_init(krb5_context context, krb5_keyblock *key,
         krb5_enctype enctype, krb5_crypto *crypto);

     krb5_error_code
     krb5_crypto_destroy(krb5_context context, krb5_crypto crypto);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     These functions are used to initialize an encryption context that can be
     used to encrypt or checksum data.

     The krb5_crypt_init() initializes the encrytion context crypto.  The key
     parameter is the key to use for encryption, and checksums. The encryption
     type to use is taken from the key, but can be overridden with the enctype
     parameter.

     krb5_crypto_destroy() frees a previously allocated encrypion context.
