NAME

6       gnutls_session_get_master_secret  -  get  the  session's  master secret
7       value
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
11
12       const  void  *  gnutls_session_get_master_secret(gnutls_session_t  ses‐
13       sion);
14

ARGUMENTS

16       gnutls_session_t session
17                   is a gnutls_session_t structure.
18

DESCRIPTION

20       Return  a  pointer  to  the  48-byte master secret in the session.  The
21       pointer must not be modified or deallocated.
22
23       If a master secret value has not yet been established, the output  will
24       be garbage; in particular, a NULL return value should not be expected.
25
26       Consider  using  gnutls_prf()  rather than extracting the master secret
27       and use it to derive further data.
28

RETURNS

30       pointer to master secret data.
