  82. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  83. \&\fBSSL_get_client_random()\fR extracts the random value sent from the client
  84. to the server during the initial SSL/TLS handshake. It copies as many
  85. bytes as it can of this value into the buffer provided in \fBout\fR,
  86. which must have at least \fBoutlen\fR bytes available. It returns the
  87. total number of bytes that were actually copied. If \fBoutlen\fR is
  88. zero, \fBSSL_get_client_random()\fR copies nothing, and returns the
  89. total size of the client_random value.
  90. .PP
  91. \&\fBSSL_get_server_random()\fR behaves the same, but extracts the random value
  92. sent from the server to the client during the initial SSL/TLS handshake.
  93. .PP
  94. \&\fBSSL_SESSION_get_master_key()\fR behaves the same, but extracts the master
  95. secret used to guarantee the security of the SSL/TLS session. This one
  96. can be dangerous if misused; see NOTES below.
  97. .PP
  98. \&\fBSSL_SESSION_set1_master_key()\fR sets the master key value associated with the
  99. SSL_SESSION \fBsess\fR. For example, this could be used to set up a session based
  100. PSK (see \fBSSL_CTX_set_psk_use_session_callback\fR\|(3)). The master key of length
  101. \&\fBlen\fR should be provided at \fBin\fR. The supplied master key is copied by the
  102. function, so the caller is responsible for freeing and cleaning any memory
  103. associated with \fBin\fR. The caller must ensure that the length of the key is
  104. suitable for the ciphersuite associated with the SSL_SESSION.
  105. .SH NOTES
  106. .IX Header "NOTES"
  107. You probably shouldn't use these functions.
  108. .PP
  109. These functions expose internal values from the TLS handshake, for
  110. use in low-level protocols. You probably should not use them, unless
  111. you are implementing something that needs access to the internal protocol
  112. details.
  113. .PP
  114. Despite the names of \fBSSL_get_client_random()\fR and \fBSSL_get_server_random()\fR, they
  115. ARE NOT random number generators. Instead, they return the mostly-random values that
  116. were already generated and used in the TLS protocol. Using them
  117. in place of \fBRAND_bytes()\fR would be grossly foolish.
  118. .PP
  119. The security of your TLS session depends on keeping the master key secret:
  120. do not expose it, or any information about it, to anybody.
  121. If you need to calculate another secret value that depends on the master
  122. secret, you should probably use \fBSSL_export_keying_material()\fR instead, and
  123. forget that you ever saw these functions.
  124. .PP
  125. In current versions of the TLS protocols, the length of client_random
  126. (and also server_random) is always SSL3_RANDOM_SIZE bytes. Support for
  127. other outlen arguments to the SSL_get_*\fB_random()\fR functions is provided
  128. in case of the unlikely event that a future version or variant of TLS
  129. uses some other length there.
  130. .PP
  131. Finally, though the "client_random" and "server_random" values are called
  132. "random", many TLS implementations will generate four bytes of those
  133. values based on their view of the current time.
  134. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  135. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  136. \&\fBSSL_SESSION_set1_master_key()\fR returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
  137. .PP
  138. For the other functions, if \fBoutlen\fR is greater than 0 then these functions
  139. return the number of bytes actually copied, which will be less than or equal to
  140. \&\fBoutlen\fR. If \fBoutlen\fR is 0 then these functions return the maximum number
  141. of bytes they would copy \-\- that is, the length of the underlying field.
