.TH NOTARY 3
.CT 2 sa secur
.SH NAME
xs, enroll, verify, reverify, keynotary \(mi certification functions
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B "char *xs(char *key, char *buf, int n)
.B "enroll(char *name, char *oldkey, char *newkey)
.B "verify(char *name, char *xsum, char *buf, int n)
.B "rverify(char *name, char *xsum, char *buf, int n)
.B "keynotary(char *key1, char *key2)
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
All these functions except
.I xs
must be linked with option
.B -lipc
of
.IR ld (1).
.PP
.I Xs
composes a cryptographic checksum of the
.I n
characters starting at
.IR buf.
The
.I key
argument points to an 8-character checksumming key.
A pointer is returned to a null-terminated
.SM ASCII
checksum.
.PP
.I Enroll
registers a checksumming key for user
.I name
with
.IR notary (1),
only one checksumming key per user name at a time.
On first registry
the
.I oldkey
argument is ignored.
On subsequent registries, the
.I oldkey
argument must match the currently stored
checksumming key.
The new checksumming key is
.IR newkey ;
if
.I newkey
is trivial,
.I name
is deregistered.
.PP
.I Verify
consults the notary oracle
to check the validity of a checksum composed by
.IR xs.
A non zero return value signifies that the checksum was
calculated using the checksumming key registered with
the notary oracle as belonging to user
.IR name .
.I Rverify
does what
.I verify
does, but leaves the connection to the oracle open
until presented with a NULL
value for
.IR name .
Hence, subsequent calls to
.I rverify
should be quicker.
.PP
.I Keynotary
is used to tell the notary daemon the key for
its private encrypted data.
.I Key1
is the key the data is currently encrypted with;
.I key2
(if nonzero)
is the key to use in the future.
A file descriptor is returned, from which diagnostic information
may be read.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IR notary (1),
.IR ipc (3)
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
.I Verify
and
.I enroll
return zero on failure, otherwise nonzero.
