NAME

       gss_wrap - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gss.h>

       OM_uint32   gss_wrap(OM_uint32   *   minor_status,  const  gss_ctx_id_t
       context_handle,   int   conf_req_flag,   gss_qop_t    qop_req,    const
       gss_buffer_t   input_message_buffer,  int  *  conf_state,  gss_buffer_t
       output_message_buffer);

ARGUMENTS

       OM_uint32 * minor_status
                   (Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.

       const gss_ctx_id_t context_handle
                   (gss_ctx_id_t, read) Identifies the context on
                     which the message will be sent.

       int conf_req_flag
                   (boolean, read) Non-zero - Both confidentiality and
                     integrity services are requested. Zero -  Only  integrity
                   service is
                     requested.

       gss_qop_t qop_req
                   (gss_qop_t, read, optional) Specifies required quality of
                     protection.    A   mechanism-specific   default   may  be
                   requested by
                     setting qop_req to GSS_C_QOP_DEFAULT.  If an unsupported
                     protection strength is requested, gss_wrap will return a
                     major_status of GSS_S_BAD_QOP.

       const gss_buffer_t input_message_buffer
                   (buffer, opaque, read) Message to be
                     protected.

       int * conf_state
                   (boolean, modify, optional) Non-zero -
                     Confidentiality, data origin authentication and integrity
                     services  have  been  applied.  Zero - Integrity and data
                   origin
                     services only has been  applied.   Specify  NULL  if  not
                   required.

       gss_buffer_t output_message_buffer
                   (buffer, opaque, modify) Buffer to receive
                     protected  message.  Storage associated with this message
                   must be
                     freed by the application after use with a call to
                     gss_release_buffer().

DESCRIPTION

       Attaches a cryptographic MIC  and  optionally  encrypts  the  specified
       input_message.   The  output_message  contains  both  the  MIC  and the
       message.   The  qop_req  parameter  allows  a  choice  between  several
       cryptographic algorithms, if supported by the chosen mechanism.

       Since  some  application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted
       by gss_wrap() to provide "secure framing", implementations must support
       the wrapping of zero-length messages.

RETURN VALUE

       ‘GSS_S_COMPLETE‘: Successful completion.

       ‘GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED‘: The context has already expired.

       ‘GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT‘: The context_handle parameter did not identify a
        valid context.

       ‘GSS_S_BAD_QOP‘: The specified QOP is not supported by the mechanism.
