L_LTDIC_API L_UINT32 L_DicomSetEncryptKeyISCL(hNet, nIndex, key)

HDICOMNET hNet;	/* handle to an existing DICOM Network */
L_UINT32 nIndex;	/* index */
L_UINT64 key;	/* encryption key */

Sets an encryption key at the specified index in the array. This function is available in the Medical Imaging Suite toolkits.

Parameter	Description
hNet	Handle to an existing DICOM Network. This is the handle returned from the L_DicomCreateNet function.
nIndex	Index into the array of encryption keys. This index is 1-based. Possible values for this index are between 1 and 8, inclusive.
key	A 64-bit integer, in little endian byte order, that represents an encryption key.

Returns

DICOM_SUCCESS	Success. The specified key was set in the specified position in the keys array.
DICOM_ERROR_PARAMETER	A parameter error occurred. nIndex was 0 or bigger than 8. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

The index of the encryption key is sent with every message sent from the sender to the receiver. Different encryption keys can be used for each message, as long as the keys of the sender and the receiver match.
