SRP_USER_PWD_NEW(3ossl)

📦 version 3.5.0, in opensuse-leap 16.0

🎀 NAME 🎀

Okay so this is the official SRP_USER_PWD_NEW(3ossl) page, bestie, and it's literally the group chat for SRP_user_pwd_new, SRP_user_pwd_free, SRP_user_pwd_set1_ids, SRP_user_pwd_set_gN, and SRP_user_pwd_set0_sv — the functions to create a record of SRP user verifier information. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <openssl/srp.h>

The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):

SRP_user_pwd *SRP_user_pwd_new(void);
void SRP_user_pwd_free(SRP_user_pwd *user_pwd);

int SRP_user_pwd_set1_ids(SRP_user_pwd *user_pwd, const char *id, const char *info);
void SRP_user_pwd_set_gN(SRP_user_pwd *user_pwd, const BIGNUM *g, const BIGNUM *N);
int SRP_user_pwd_set0_sv(SRP_user_pwd *user_pwd, BIGNUM *s, BIGNUM *v);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. There are no available replacement functions at this time. Ngl, that's the big vibe warning, so don't miss it.

  • SRP_user_pwd_new() allocates a structure to store a user verifier record. Fresh little record, slay.
  • SRP_user_pwd_free() frees up the user_pwd structure. If user_pwd is NULL, nothing is done. Safe no-op energy.
  • SRP_user_pwd_set1_ids() sets the username to id and the optional user info to info for user_pwd. The library allocates new copies of id and info, and the caller still owns the original memory. Important: you keep your originals, bestie.
  • SRP_user_pwd_set0_sv() sets the user salt to s and the verifier to v for user_pwd. The library takes ownership of the values, so they should not be freed by the caller. Ownership handoff, iykyk.
  • SRP_user_pwd_set_gN() sets the SRP group parameters for user_pwd. The memory is not freed by SRP_user_pwd_free(), so the caller must make sure it is freed once it is no longer used. Cleanup is your main character job here.

💖 RETURN VALUES 💖

  • SRP_user_pwd_set1_ids() returns 1 on success and 0 on failure or if id was NULL. Simple pass/fail vibe check.
  • SRP_user_pwd_set0_sv() returns 1 if both s and v are not NULL, 0 otherwise. Both non-NULL or it's a no.
