GSS_VERIFY_MIC(3)	      Programmer's Manual	     GSS_VERIFY_MIC(3)

NAME
     gss_verify_mic, gss_verify — Check a MIC against a message; verify
     integrity of a received message

SYNOPSIS
     #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

     OM_uint32
     gss_verify_mic(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
	 const gss_ctx_id_t context_handle, const gss_buffer_t message_buffer,
	 const gss_buffer_t token_buffer, gss_qop_t *qop_state);

     OM_uint32
     gss_verify(OM_uint32 *minor_status, gss_ctx_id_t context_handle,
	 gss_buffer_t message_buffer, gss_buffer_t token_buffer,
	 gss_qop_t *qop_state);

DESCRIPTION
     Verifies that a cryptographic MIC, contained in the token parameter, fits
     the supplied message.  The qop_state parameter allows a message recipient
     to determine the strength of protection that was applied to the message.

     Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted by
     gss_wrap() to provide "secure framing", implementations must support the
     calculation and verification of MICs over zero-length messages.

     The gss_verify() routine is an obsolete variant of gss_verify_mic().  It
     is provided for backwards compatibility with applications using the GSS-
     API V1 interface.	A distinct entrypoint (as opposed to #define) is pro‐
     vided, both to allow GSS-API V1 applications to link and to retain the
     slight parameter type differences between the obsolete versions of this
     routine and its current form.

PARAMETERS
     minor_status  Mechanism specific status code.

     context_handle
		   Identifies the context on which the message arrived.

     message_buffer
		   Message to be verified.

     token_buffer  Token associated with message.

     qop_state	   Quality of protection gained from MIC.  Specify NULL if not
		   required.

RETURN VALUES
     GSS_S_COMPLETE
		   Successful completion

     GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_TOKEN
		   The token failed consistency checks

     GSS_S_BAD_SIG
		   The MIC was incorrect

     GSS_S_DUPLICATE_TOKEN
		   The token was valid, and contained a correct MIC for the
		   message, but it had already been processed

     GSS_S_OLD_TOKEN
		   The token was valid, and contained a correct MIC for the
		   message, but it is too old to check for duplication

     GSS_S_UNSEQ_TOKEN
		   The token was valid, and contained a correct MIC for the
		   message, but has been verified out of sequence; a later
		   token has already been received.

     GSS_S_GAP_TOKEN
		   The token was valid, and contained a correct MIC for the
		   message, but has been verified out of sequence; an earlier
		   expected token has not yet been received

     GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED
		   The context has already expired

     GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT
		   The context_handle parameter did not identify a valid con‐
		   text
