## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<gnutls/gnutls.h\>**

**int gnutls\_srp\_verifier(const char \*** *username***, const char \*** *password***, const gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *salt***, const gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *generator***, const gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *prime***, gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *res***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- const char \* username

  is the user's name

- const char \* password

  is the user's password

- const gnutls\_datum\_t \* salt

  should be some randomly generated bytes

- const gnutls\_datum\_t \* generator

  is the generator of the group

- const gnutls\_datum\_t \* prime

  is the group's prime

- gnutls\_datum\_t \* res

  where the verifier will be stored.

## DESCRIPTION

This function will create an SRP verifier, as specified in RFC2945.  The  *prime* and  *generator* should be one of the static parameters defined in gnutls/gnutls.h or may be generated.

The verifier will be allocated with @**gnutls\_malloc()** and will be stored in\
  *res* using binary format.

## RETURNS

On success, **GNUTLS\_E\_SUCCESS** (0) is returned, or an error code.
