💖 gsasl_scram_sec...salted_password — NAME ✨

okay bestie, this page lives in the gsasl manual, and what we're looking at here is gsasl_scram_secrets_from_salted_password — the API function, periodt. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gsasl.h>

int gsasl_scram_secrets_from_salted_password(Gsasl_hash hash, const char
 * salted_password, char * client_key, char * server_key, char *
 stored_key);

👑 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • Gsasl_hash hash — a Gsasl_hash element, like for real, e.g. GSASL_HASH_SHA256. ✨
  • const char * salted_password — the input array, holding your salted password. that's the starting point fr fr.
  • char * client_key — a pre-allocated output array that's gonna get the derived client key dropped into it. 🫶
  • char * server_key — another pre-allocated output array, this one catching the derived server key. 💜
  • char * stored_key — yep, pre-allocated output array too, and the derived stored key lands here. 🍓

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🧚

it's a helper function, bestie — its whole job is deriving the SCRAM ClientKey/ServerKey/StoredKey. iconic behaviour honestly.

the client_key, server_key, and stored_key buffers must have room to hold the digest for the given hash, okay? use GSASL_HASH_MAX_SIZE, which is sufficient for all hashes. no cap. 💯

Return value: it hands you GSASL_OK if everything slayed, or an error code if it did not. 😭

⭐ SINCE 🌟
