LDicomNet::GetMutualAuthKeyLengthTLS

#include "ltdic.h"

L_UINT32 LDicomNet::GetMutualAuthKeyLengthTLS(cipher)

/* ciphersuite */

Returns the effective length (in bits) of the mutual authentication key associated with the specified ciphersuite. This function is available in the Medical Suite toolkits.

Parameter	Description
cipher	Value that represents the current ciphersuite for which to get the length of the mutual authentication key.

Returns

Returns the effective length of the mutual authentication key.

Comments

The usual sizes for a RSA key is 512 and 1024 bits. There is a limitation for import in Europe – a RSA key must be at least 768 bits long. There are no known export restrictions. In addition, the length of the mutual authentication key can be found only after a successful call to the LDicomNet::SetClientCertificateTLS or LDicomNet::SetServerCertificateTLS function.
