gss_wrap(3)

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 message. 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 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.
