#include "ltdic.h"

L_UINT32 LDicomNet::GetAuthenticationAlgorithmTLS(cipher)

ciphersuite

Returns the mutual authentication mode or algorithm for the cipher. This function is available in the PACS Imaging toolkits.

Parameter	Description
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_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.
