NAME

gnutls_priority_init − API function

SYNOPSIS

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_priority_init(gnutls_priority_t * priority_cache, const char * priorities, const char ** err_pos);

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_priority_t * priority_cache

is a gnutls_prioritity_t structure.

const char * priorities

is a string describing priorities

const char ** err_pos

In case of an error this will have the position in the string the error occured

DESCRIPTION

Sets priorities for the ciphers, key exchange methods, macs and compression methods.

The priorities option allows you to specify a colon separated list of the cipher priorities to enable. Some keywords are defined to provide quick access to common preferences.

"PERFORMANCE" means all the "secure" ciphersuites are enabled, limited to 128 bit ciphers and sorted by terms of speed performance.

"NORMAL" means all "secure" ciphersuites. The 256−bit ciphers are included as a fallback only. The ciphers are sorted by security margin.

"SECURE128" means all "secure" ciphersuites of security level 128−bit or more.

"SECURE192" means all "secure" ciphersuites of security level 192−bit or more.

"SUITEB128" means all the NSA SuiteB ciphersuites with security level of 128.

"SUITEB192" means all the NSA SuiteB ciphersuites with security level of 192.

"EXPORT" means all ciphersuites are enabled, including the low−security 40 bit ciphers.

"NONE" means nothing is enabled. This disables even protocols and compression methods.

Special keywords are "!", "−" and "+". "!" or "−" appended with an algorithm will remove this algorithm. "+" appended with an algorithm will add this algorithm.

Check the GnuTLS manual section "Priority strings" for detailed information.

EXAMPLES

"NONE:+VERS−TLS−ALL:+MAC−ALL:+RSA:+AES−128−CBC:+SIGN−ALL:+COMP−NULL"

"NORMAL:−ARCFOUR−128" means normal ciphers except for ARCFOUR−128.

"SECURE:−VERS−SSL3.0:+COMP−DEFLATE" means that only secure ciphers are enabled, SSL3.0 is disabled, and libz compression enabled.

"NONE:+VERS−TLS−ALL:+AES−128−CBC:+RSA:+SHA1:+COMP−NULL:+SIGN−RSA−SHA1",

"NONE:+VERS−TLS−ALL:+AES−128−CBC:+ECDHE−RSA:+SHA1:+COMP−NULL:+SIGN−RSA−SHA1:+CURVE−SECP256R1",

"NORMAL:COMPAT" is the most compatible mode.

RETURNS

On syntax error GNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST is returned, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, or an error code.

Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.

Free Software

Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.

Free Books

The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.

Education

Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
