Create a crypto context used for all encryption and signature operation. The encryption type to use is taken from the key, but can be overridden with the enctype parameter. This can be useful for encryptions types which is compatiable (DES for example).

To free the crypto context, use krb5_crypto_destroy().

Parameters

context Kerberos context
key the key block information with all key data
etype the encryption type
crypto the resulting crypto context

Returns

Return an error code or 0.

Inline decrypt a Kerberos message.

Parameters

context Kerberos context
crypto Kerberos crypto context
usage Key usage for this buffer
data array of buffers to process
num_data length of array
ivec initial cbc/cts vector

Returns

Return an error code or 0.

KRB5_CRYPTO_TYPE_HEADER
2.
one KRB5_CRYPTO_TYPE_DATA and array [0,...] of KRB5_CRYPTO_TYPE_SIGN_ONLY in any order, however the receiver have to aware of the order. KRB5_CRYPTO_TYPE_SIGN_ONLY is commonly used unencrypoted protocol headers and trailers. The output data will be of same size as the input data or shorter.

Free a keyblock, also zero out the content of the keyblock, uses krb5_free_keyblock_contents() to free the content.

Parameters

context a Kerberos 5 context

Free a keyblock's content, also zero out the content of the keyblock.

Parameters

context a Kerberos 5 context
keyblock keyblock content to free, NULL is valid argument

Fill buffer buf with len bytes of PRNG randomness that is ok to use for key generation, padding and public diclosing the randomness w/o disclosing the randomness source.

This function can fail, and callers must check the return value.

Parameters

buf a buffer to fill with randomness
len length of memory that buf points to.

Returns

return 0 on success or HEIM_ERR_RANDOM_OFFLINE if the funcation failed to initialize the randomness source.

Fill buffer buf with len bytes of PRNG randomness that is ok to use for key generation, padding and public diclosing the randomness w/o disclosing the randomness source.

This function can NOT fail, instead it will abort() and program will crash.

If this function is called after a successful krb5_init_context(), the chance of it failing is low due to that krb5_init_context() pulls out some random, and quite commonly the randomness sources will not fail once it have started to produce good output, /dev/urandom behavies that way.

Parameters

buf a buffer to fill with randomness
len length of memory that buf points to.

Generate subkey, from keyblock

Parameters

context kerberos context
key session key
etype encryption type of subkey, if ETYPE_NULL, use key's enctype
subkey returned new, free with krb5_free_keyblock().

Returns

0 on success or a Kerberos 5 error code

Returns is the encryption is strong or weak

Parameters

context Kerberos 5 context
enctype encryption type to probe

Returns

Returns true if encryption type is weak or is not supported.

Get encryption type of a keyblock.

Fill in `key' with key data of type `enctype' from `data' of length `size'. Key should be freed using krb5_free_keyblock_contents().

Returns

0 on success or a Kerberos 5 error code

Zero out a keyblock

Parameters

keyblock keyblock to zero out

Converts the random bytestring to a protocol key according to Kerberos crypto frame work. It may be assumed that all the bits of the input string are equally random, even though the entropy present in the random source may be limited.

Parameters

context Kerberos 5 context
type the enctype resulting key will be of
data input random data to convert to a key
size size of input random data, at least krb5_enctype_keysize() long
key key, output key, free with krb5_free_keyblock_contents()

Returns

Return an error code or 0.

Verify a Kerberos message checksum.

Parameters

context Kerberos context
crypto Kerberos crypto context
usage Key usage for this buffer
data array of buffers to process
num_data length of array
type return checksum type if not NULL

Returns

Return an error code or 0.
