       shishi_string_to_key - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <shishi.h>

       int  shishi_string_to_key(Shishi  * handle, int32_t keytype, const char * password, size_t
       passwordlen, const char * salt, size_t saltlen,  const  char  *  parameter,  Shishi_key  *
       outkey);

ARGUMENTS

       Shishi * handle
                   shishi handle as allocated by shishi_init().

       int32_t keytype
                   cryptographic encryption type, see Shishi_etype.

       const char * password
                   input array with password.

       size_t passwordlen
                   length of input array with password.

       const char * salt
                   input array with salt.

       size_t saltlen
                   length of input array with salt.

       const char * parameter
                   input array with opaque encryption type specific information.

       Shishi_key * outkey
                   allocated key handle that will contain new key.

DESCRIPTION

       Derive  key  from  a  string  (password)  and  salt  (commonly  concatenation of realm and
       principal) for specified key type, and set the type and value in  the  given  key  to  the
       computed  values.  The parameter value is specific for each keytype, and can be set if the
       parameter information is not available.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns SHISHI_OK iff successful.
