NAME
       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.
