L_DicomGetAuthenticationAlgorithmTLS

#include "ltdic.h"

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. This function is available in the Medical Suite toolkits.

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	Meaning
L_MUTUALAUTH_RSA	[0x20] Mutual authentication through RSA certificates.

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.
