-.SH LIBRARY

-.BI "int key_encryptsession(char *" remotename ", des_block *" deskey );

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The functions here are used within the RPC's secure authentication
-mechanism (AUTH_DES).
-There should be no need for user programs to
-use this functions.
-.P
-The function
-.BR key_decryptsession ()
-uses the (remote) server netname and takes the DES key
-for decrypting.
-It uses the public key of the server and the
-secret key associated with the effective UID of the calling process.
-.P
-The function
-.BR key_encryptsession ()
-is the inverse of
-.BR key_decryptsession ().
-It encrypts the DES keys with the public key of the server and
-the secret key associated with the effective UID of the calling process.
-.P
-The function
-.BR key_gendes ()
-is used to ask the keyserver for a secure conversation key.
-.P
-The function
-.BR key_setsecret ()
-is used to set the key for the effective UID of the calling process.
-.P
-The function
-.BR key_secretkey_is_set ()
-can be used to determine whether a key has been
-set for the effective UID of the calling process.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-These functions return 1 on success and 0 on failure.
-.SH ATTRIBUTES
-For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see

-.SH NOTES
-Note that we talk about two types of encryption here.
-One is asymmetric using a public and secret key.
-The other is symmetric, the
-64-bit DES.
-.P
-These routines were part of the Linux/Doors-project, abandoned by now.
