gnutls_prf_raw(3) gnutls gnutls_prf_raw(3)
NAME
gnutls_prf_raw - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int gnutls_prf_raw(gnutls_session_t session, size_t label_size, const
char * label, size_t seed_size, const char * seed, size_t outsize, char
* out);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_session_t session
is a gnutls_session_t type.
size_t label_size
length of the label variable.
const char * label
label used in PRF computation, typically a short string.
size_t seed_size
length of the seed variable.
const char * seed
optional extra data to seed the PRF with.
size_t outsize
size of pre-allocated output buffer to hold the output.
char * out pre-allocated buffer to hold the generated data.
DESCRIPTION
Apply the TLS Pseudo-Random-Function (PRF) on the master secret and the
provided data.
The label variable usually contains a string denoting the purpose for
the generated data. The seed usually contains data such as the client
and server random, perhaps together with some additional data that is
added to guarantee uniqueness of the output for a particular purpose.
Because the output is not guaranteed to be unique for a particular ses-
sion unless seed includes the client random and server random fields
(the PRF would output the same data on another connection resumed from
the first one), it is not recommended to use this function directly.
The gnutls_prf() function seeds the PRF with the client and server ran-
dom fields directly, and is recommended if you want to generate pseudo
random data unique for each session.
NOTE
This function will only operate under TLS versions prior to 1.3. In
TLS1.3 the use of PRF is replaced with HKDF and the generic exporters
like gnutls_prf_rfc5705() should be used instead. Under TLS1.3 this
function returns GNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST.
RETURNS
GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, or an error code.
