NAME         top

       gnutls_privkey_derive_secret - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/abstract.h>

       int gnutls_privkey_derive_secret(gnutls_privkey_t privkey,
       gnutls_pubkey_t pubkey, const gnutls_datum_t * nonce,
       gnutls_datum_t * secret, unsigned int flags);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_privkey_t privkey
                   a private key of type gnutls_privkey_t

       gnutls_pubkey_t pubkey
                   a public key of type gnutls_pubkey_t

       const gnutls_datum_t * nonce
                   an optional nonce value

       gnutls_datum_t * secret
                   where shared secret will be stored

       unsigned int flags
                   must be zero

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function will calculate a shared secret from our  privkey
       and peer's  pubkey . The result will be stored in  secret , whose
       data member should be freed after use using gnutls_free().
       privkey and
        pubkey must be backed by the X.509 keys.

RETURNS         top

       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a
       negative error value.
