NAME
gnutls_session_get_master_secret - get the sessions master secret value
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
const void * gnutls_session_get_master_secret(gnutls_session_t session);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_session_t session | is a gnutls_session_t structure. |
DESCRIPTION
Return a pointer to the 48-byte master secret in the session. The pointer must not be modified or deallocated.
If a master secret value has not yet been established, the output will be garbage; in particular, a NULL return value should not be expected.
Consider using gnutls_prf() rather than extracting the master secret and use it to derive further data.
RETURNS
pointer to master secret data.
