NAME ACrypt -- Encrypt a password SYNOPSIS newpass = ACrypt( buffer, password, username ) UBYTE *ACrypt( UBYTE *, UBYTE *, UBYTE *) ; FUNCTION This function takes a buffer of at least 12 characters in length, an unencrypted password and the user's name (as known to the host system) and returns an encrypted password in the passed buffer. This is a one-way encryption. Normally, the user's encrypted password is stored in a file for future password comparison. INPUTS buffer - a pointer to a buffer at least 12 bytes in length. password - a pointer to an unencrypted password string. username - a pointer to the user's name. RESULT newpass - a pointer to the passed buffer if successful, NULL upon failure. The encrypted password placed in the buffer will be be eleven (11) characters in length and will be NULL-terminated. EXAMPLE UBYTE *pw, *getpassword() ; UBYTE *user = "alf" UBYTE *newpass ; UBYTE buffer[16] ; /* size >= 12 */ pw = getpassword() ; /* your own function */ if((newpass = ACrypt(buffer, pw, user)) != NULL) { printf("pw = %sn", newpass) ; /* newpass = &buffer[0] */ } else { printf("ACrypt failedn") ; }
