NAME

- encryption support in krb5
LIBRARY
Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)
SYNOPSIS
In krb5.h
Ft krb5_error_code
Fn krb5_crypto_init krb5_context context krb5_keyblock *key krb5_enctype enctype krb5_crypto *crypto
Ft krb5_error_code
Fn krb5_crypto_destroy krb5_context context krb5_crypto crypto
DESCRIPTION
Heimdal exports parts of the Kerberos crypto interface for applications.
Each kerberos encrytion/checksum function takes a crypto context.
To setup and destroy crypto contextes there are two functions
Fn krb5_crypto_init
and
Fn krb5_crypto_destroy .
The encryption type to use is taken from the key, but can be overridden
with the
Fa enctype parameter .
This can be useful for encryptions types which is compatiable (DES for
example).
