length of the label
variable.
label used in PRF computation, typically a short string.
length of the seed
variable.
optional extra data to seed the PRF with.
size of pre-allocated output buffer to hold the output.
pre-allocate buffer to hold the generated data.
Apply the TLS Pseudo−Random−Function (PRF) using the master secret on some data.
The label
variable
usually contain a string denoting the purpose for the
generated data. The seed
usually contain 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 session unless seed
include 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 seed
the PRF with the client and server random fields directly,
and is recommended if you want to generate pseudo random data
unique for each session.
The full documentation for gnutls
is maintained as a
Texinfo manual. If the info
and gnutls
programs are properly
installed at your site, the command
info gnutls
should give you access to the complete manual.
