NAME

       gnutls_prf_rfc5705 - API function


SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_prf_rfc5705(gnutls_session_t session, size_t label_size,
       const char * label, size_t context_size, const char * context, 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 context_size
                   length of the  extra variable.

       const char * context
                   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

       Exports keying material from TLS/DTLS session to an application, as
       specified in RFC5705.

       In the TLS versions prior to 1.3, it applies the TLS
       Pseudo-Random-Function (PRF) on the master secret and the provided
       data, seeded with the client and server random fields.

       In TLS 1.3, it applies HKDF on the exporter master secret derived from
       the master secret.

       The  label variable usually contains a string denoting the purpose for
       the generated data.

       The  context variable can be used to add more data to the seed, after
       the random variables.  It can be used to make sure the generated output
       is strongly connected to some additional data (e.g., a string used in
       user authentication).

       The output is placed in  out , which must be pre-allocated.

       Note that, to provide the RFC5705 context, the  context variable must
       be non-null.


RETURNS

       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, or an error code.
