L_DicomGetAuthenticationAlgorithmTLS

Summary

Returns the mutual authentication mode or algorithm for the cipher.

Syntax

#include "ltdic.h"

L_LTDIC_API L_UINT32 L_DicomGetAuthenticationAlgorithmTLS(hNet, cipher)

Parameters

HDICOMNET hNet

Handle to an existing DICOM Network. This is the handle returned from the L_DicomCreateNet function.

L_CIPHERSUITE 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	Meaning
Value	Meaning
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.

   nRet = L_DicomGetAuthenticationAlgorithmTLS( hDicomNet, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA); 
   if(nRet == L_MUTUALAUTH_RSA) 
      MessageBox(NULL, TEXT(" Mutual authentication in TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA with L_MUTUALAUTH_RSA"), TEXT(""), MB_OK); 
 
   return DICOM_SUCCESS;
