gss_get_mic(3)

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 support 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.
