34 .BR key_decryptsession ()
35 uses the (remote) server netname and takes the DES key
37 It uses the public key of the server and the
38 secret key associated with the effective UID of the calling process.
41 .BR key_encryptsession ()
43 .BR key_decryptsession ().
44 It encrypts the DES keys with the public key of the server and
45 the secret key associated with the effective UID of the calling process.
49 is used to ask the keyserver for a secure conversation key.
53 is used to set the key for the effective UID of the calling process.
56 .BR key_secretkey_is_set ()
57 can be used to determine whether a key has been
58 set for the effective UID of the calling process.
60 These functions return 1 on success and 0 on failure.
62 Note that we talk about two types of encryption here.
63 One is asymmetric using a public and secret key.
64 The other is symmetric, the
