L_DicomGetAuthenticationAlgorithmTLS

#include "ltdic.h"

L_LTDIC_API L_UINT32 L_DicomGetAuthenticationAlgorithmTLS(hNet, cipher)

HDICOMNET hNet;	/* handle to an existing DICOM network */
L_CIPHERSUITE cipher;	/* ciphersuite */

Returns the mutual authentication mode or algorithm for the cipher.

Parameter	Description
hNet	Handle to an existing DICOM Network. This is the handle returned from the L_DicomCreateNet function.
cipher	Value that indicates the ciphersuite for which to get the authentication mode or algorithm.

Returns

A value that represents the authentication mode or algorithm. Possible values are:

Value	Meanin
L_MUTUALAUTH_NONE	[0x00] No mutual authentication. Returned if no secure connection is established.
L_MUTUALAUTH_RSA	[0x20] Mutual authentication through RSA certificates.
L_MUTUALAUTH_DSS	[0x21] Mutual authentication through DSS.
L_MUTUALAUTH_DH	[0x22] Mutual authentication through DH.

Comments

There are several different cipher suites. Some differ only in the mutual authentication algorithm. Usually the authentication algorithm is based on RSA or DSS certificates.
