NAME
gnutls_session_get_master_secret - get the session's master secret value SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h> const void * gnutls_session_get_master_secret(gnutls_session_t session); ARGUMENTS
gnutls_session_t session is a gnutls_session_t structure. DESCRIPTION
Return a pointer to the 48-byte master secret in the session. The pointer must not be modified or deallocated. If a master secret value has not yet been established, the output will be garbage; in particular, a NULL return value should not be expected. Consider using gnutls_prf() rather than extracting the master secret and use it to derive further data. RETURNS
pointer to master secret data. REPORTING BUGS

NAME
gnutls_ia_extract_inner_secret - API function SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/extra.h> void gnutls_ia_extract_inner_secret(gnutls_session_t session, char * buffer); ARGUMENTS
gnutls_session_t session is a gnutls_session_t structure. char * buffer pre-allocated buffer to hold 48 bytes of inner secret. DESCRIPTION
Copy the 48 bytes large inner secret into the specified buffer This function is typically used after the TLS/IA handshake has concluded. The TLS/IA inner secret can be used as input to a PRF to derive session keys. Do not use the inner secret directly as a session key, because for a resumed session that does not include an application phase, the inner secret will be identical to the inner secret in the original session. It is important to include, for example, the client and server randomness when deriving a sesssion key from the inner secret. REPORTING BUGS
