+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The functions here are used within the RPC's secure authentication
+mechanism (AUTH_DES).
+There should be no need for user programs to
+use this functions.
+.P
+The function
+.BR key_decryptsession ()
+uses the (remote) server netname and takes the DES key
+for decrypting.
+It uses the public key of the server and the
+secret key associated with the effective UID of the calling process.
+.P
+The function
+.BR key_encryptsession ()
+is the inverse of
+.BR key_decryptsession ().
+It encrypts the DES keys with the public key of the server and
+the secret key associated with the effective UID of the calling process.
+.P
+The function
+.BR key_gendes ()
+is used to ask the keyserver for a secure conversation key.
+.P
+The function
+.BR key_setsecret ()
+is used to set the key for the effective UID of the calling process.
+.P
+The function
+.BR key_secretkey_is_set ()
+can be used to determine whether a key has been
+set for the effective UID of the calling process.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+These functions return 1 on success and 0 on failure.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see

+.SH NOTES
+Note that we talk about two types of encryption here.
+One is asymmetric using a public and secret key.
+The other is symmetric, the
+64-bit DES.

+These routines were part of the Linux/Doors-project, abandoned by now.
