KEY_SETSECRET(3)                                              KEY_SETSECRET(3)



NAME
       key_decryptsession,       key_encryptsession,       key_setsecret,      key_gendes,
       key_secretkey_is_set - interfaces to rpc keyserver daemon

SYNOPSIS
       #include <rpc/rpc.h>

       int key_decryptsession(const char *remotename, des_block *deskey);

       int key_encryptsession(const char *remotename, des_block *deskey);

       int key_gendes(des_block *deskey);

       int key_setsecret(const char *key);

       int key_secretkey_is_set(void);


DESCRIPTION
       The functions here are  used  within  the  RPC’s  secure  authentication  mechanism
       (AUTH_DES). There should be no need for user programs to use this functions.

       The  function  key_decryptsession()  uses the (remote) server netname and takes the
       DES key for decrypting. It uses the public key of the server  and  the  secret  key
       associated with the effective UID of the calling process.

       The  function  key_encryptsession()  is  the  inverse  of key_decryptsession().  It
       encrypts the DES keys with the public key of the server and the secret key  associ-
       ated  with the effective UID of the calling process.

       The  function  key_gendes()  is used to ask the keyserver for a secure conversation
       key.

       The function key_setsecret() is used to set the key for the effective  UID  of  the
       calling process.

       The function key_secretkey_is_set() can be used to determine whether a key has been
       set for the effective UID of the calling process.


NOTE
       Please note that we talk about two types of  encryption  here.  One  is  asymmetric
       using a public and secret key. The other is symmetric, the 64-bit DES.
       The routines were part of the linux/doors-project, abandoned by now.


RETURN VALUES
       The functions return 1 on success and 0 on failure.
