SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <krb5.h>

     krb5_error_code
     krb5_crypto_init(krb5_context context, krb5_keyblock *key,
             krb5_enctype enctype, krb5_crypto *crypto);

     krb5_error_code
     krb5_crypto_destroy(krb5_context     context,    krb5_crypto
crypto);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     These functions are used to initialize an encryption context
that can be
     used to encrypt or checksum data.

     The  krb5_crypt_init()  initializes  the  encrytion  context
crypto.  The key
     parameter is the key to use for encryption,  and  checksums.
The encryption
     type  to  use  is  taken from the key, but can be overridden
with the enctype
     parameter.

     krb5_crypto_destroy() frees a previously allocated encrypion
context.
