LIBRARY
Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)
SYNOPSIS
#include <krb5.h>
typedef Checksum krb5_checksum;
void
krb5_checksum_disable(krb5_context context, krb5_cksumtype type);
krb5_boolean
krb5_checksum_is_collision_proof(krb5_context context,
krb5_cksumtype type);
krb5_boolean
krb5_checksum_is_keyed(krb5_context context, krb5_cksumtype type);
krb5_error_code
krb5_cksumtype_valid(krb5_context context, krb5_cksumtype ctype);
krb5_error_code
krb5_checksumsize(krb5_context context, krb5_cksumtype type,
size_t *size);
krb5_error_code
krb5_create_checksum(krb5_context context, krb5_crypto crypto,
krb5_key_usage usage, int type, void *data, size_t len,
Checksum *result);
krb5_error_code
krb5_verify_checksum(krb5_context context, krb5_crypto crypto,
krb5_key_usage usage, void *data, size_t len, Checksum *cksum);
krb5_error_code
krb5_crypto_get_checksum_type(krb5_context context, krb5_crypto crypto,
krb5_cksumtype *type);
void
krb5_free_checksum(krb5_context context, krb5_checksum *cksum);
void
krb5_free_checksum_contents(krb5_context context, krb5_checksum *cksum);
krb5_error_code
krb5_hmac(krb5_context context, krb5_cksumtype cktype, const void *data,
size_t len, unsigned usage, krb5_keyblock *key, Checksum *result);
krb5_error_code
krb5_copy_checksum(krb5_context context, const krb5_checksum *old,
krb5_checksum **new);
it in result. If crypto is NULL, usage_or_type specifies the checksum
type to use; it must not be keyed. Otherwise crypto is an encryption
context created by krb5_crypto_init(), and usage_or_type specifies a key-
usage.
krb5_verify_checksum() verifies the checksum against the provided data.
krb5_checksum_is_collision_proof() returns true is the specified checksum
is collision proof (that it's very unlikely that two strings has the same
hash value, and that it's hard to find two strings that has the same
hash). Examples of collision proof checksums are MD5, and SHA1, while
CRC32 is not.
krb5_checksum_is_keyed() returns true if the specified checksum type is
keyed (that the hash value is a function of both the data, and a separate
key). Examples of keyed hash algorithms are HMAC-SHA1-DES3, and RSA-
MD5-DES. The "plain" hash functions MD5, and SHA1 are not keyed.
krb5_crypto_get_checksum_type() returns the checksum type that will be
used when creating a checksum for the given crypto context. This
function is useful in combination with krb5_checksumsize() when you want
to know the size a checksum will use when you create it.
krb5_cksumtype_valid() returns 0 or an error if the checksumtype is
implemented and not currently disabled in this kerberos library.
krb5_checksumsize() returns the size of the outdata of checksum function.
krb5_copy_checksum() returns a copy of the checksum krb5_free_checksum()
should use used to free the new checksum.
krb5_free_checksum() free the checksum and the content of the checksum.
krb5_free_checksum_contents() frees the content of checksum in cksum.
krb5_hmac() calculates the HMAC over data (with length len) using the
keyusage usage and keyblock key. Note that keyusage is not always used
in checksums.
krb5_checksum_disable globally disables the checksum type.
