KRB5 (Kerberos V5) Application Programming Interface

krb5_c_keyed_checksum_types Get a list of derived key checksums

krb5_c_make_random_key Generate a random key

krb5_c_make_checksum -- Compute a checksum 

C Prototype 

krb5_error_code krb5_c_make_checksum (
        krb5_context            context,
        krb5_cksumtype          cksumtype,
        const krb5_keyblock     *key,
        krb5_keyusage           usage,
        const krb5_data         *input,
        krb5_checksum           *cksum );

Arguments 

context (input/output)		The context structure.
cksumtype (input)		The checksum type.
key (input)		A pointer to the encryption key.
usage (input)		A salt value.
input (input)		The data for which a checksum is to be produced.
cksum (output)		The checksum.

Description 

This routine computes a checksum, which is returned in cksum. Input parameters include the checksum type cksumtype, the encryption key key, a salt value usage, and the data for which a checksum is to be produced in input.

Return Values 

This routine returns the following KRB5 status codes:

0	Successful completion.
KRB5_BAD_ENCTYPE	Bad encryption type.
ENOMEM	Insufficient memory.
