7.4.  public interface GSSContext

   This interface encapsulates the GSS-API security context and provides
   the security services (wrap, unwrap, getMIC, verifyMIC) that are
   available over the context.  Security contexts are established
   between peers using locally acquired credentials.  Multiple contexts
   may exist simultaneously between a pair of peers, using the same or
   different set of credentials.  GSS-API functions in a manner
   independent of the underlying transport protocol and depends on its
   calling application to transport its tokens between peers.

   Before the context establishment phase is initiated, the context
   initiator may request specific characteristics desired of the
   established context.  These can be set using the set methods.  After
   the context is established, the caller can check the actual
   characteristic and services offered by the context using the query
   methods.

   The context establishment phase begins with the first call to the
   init method by the context initiator.  During this phase, the
   initSecContext and acceptSecContext methods will produce GSS-API
   authentication tokens, which the calling application needs to send to
   its peer.  If an error occurs at any point, an exception will get
   thrown and the code will start executing in a catch block.  If not,
   the normal flow of code continues and the application can make a call
   to the isEstablished() method.  If this method returns "false" it
   indicates that a token is needed from its peer in order to continue
   the context establishment phase.  A return value of "true" signals
   that the local end of the context is established.  This may still
   require that a token be sent to the peer, if one is produced by GSS-
   API.  During the context establishment phase, the isProtReady()
   method may be called to determine if the context can be used for the
   per-message operations.  This allows applications to use per-message
   operations on contexts that aren't fully established.

   After the context has been established or the isProtReady() method
   returns "true", the query routines can be invoked to determine the
   actual characteristics and services of the established context.  The
   application can also start using the per-message methods of wrap and
   getMIC to obtain cryptographic operations on application supplied
   data.

   When the context is no longer needed, the application should call
   dispose to release any system resources the context may be using.

7.4.1.  Example Code

   The example code presented below demonstrates the usage of the
   GSSContext interface for the initiating peer.  Different operations
   on the GSSContext object are presented, including: object
   instantiation, setting of desired flags, context establishment, query
   of actual context flags, per-message operations on application data,
   and finally context deletion.

      GSSManager mgr = GSSManager.getInstance();

      // start by creating the name for a service entity
      GSSName targetName = mgr.createName("service@host",
                           GSSName.NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE);

      // create a context using default credentials for the above entity
      // and the implementation-specific default mechanism
      GSSContext context = mgr.createContext(targetName,
                      null,   /* default mechanism */
                      null,   /* default credentials */
                      GSSContext.INDEFINITE_LIFETIME);

      // set desired context options - all others are "false" by default
      context.requestConf(true);
      context.requestMutualAuth(true);
      context.requestReplayDet(true);
      context.requestSequenceDet(true);

      // establish a context between peers - using byte arrays
      byte[]inTok = new byte[0];

      try {
          do {
              byte[] outTok = context.initSecContext(inTok, 0,
                                                    inTok.length);

              // send the token if present
              if (outTok != null)
                  sendToken(outTok);

              // check if we should expect more tokens
              if (context.isEstablished())
                  break;

              // another token expected from peer
              inTok = readToken();

          } while (true);

      } catch (GSSException e) {
          print("GSSAPI error: " + e.getMessage());
      }

      // display context information
      print("Remaining lifetime in seconds = " + context.getLifetime());
      print("Context mechanism = " + context.getMech().toString());
      print("Initiator = " + context.getSrcName().toString());
      print("Acceptor = " + context.getTargName().toString());

      if (context.getConfState())
          print("Confidentiality security service available");

      if (context.getIntegState())

          print("Integrity security service available");

      // perform wrap on an application-supplied message, appMsg,
      // using QOP = 0, and requesting privacy service
      byte[] appMsg ...

      MessageProp mProp = new MessageProp(0, true);

      byte[] tok = context.wrap(appMsg, 0, appMsg.length, mProp);

      if (mProp.getPrivacy())
          print("Message protected with privacy.");

      sendToken(tok);

      // release the local end of the context
      context.dispose();

7.4.2.  Static Constants

   public static final int DEFAULT_LIFETIME

   A lifetime constant representing the default context lifetime.  The
   value of this constant is 0.

   public static final int INDEFINITE_LIFETIME

   A lifetime constant representing indefinite context lifetime.  The
   value of this constant is the maximum integer value in Java -
   Integer.MAX_VALUE.

7.4.3.  initSecContext

   public byte[] initSecContext(byte[] inputBuf, int offset, int len)
                 throws GSSException

   Called by the context initiator to start the context creation
   process.  This is equivalent to the stream-based method except that
   the token buffers are handled as byte arrays instead of using stream
   objects.  This method may return an output token that the application
   will need to send to the peer for processing by the accept call.
   Typically, the application would do so by calling the flush() method
   on an OutputStream that encapsulates the connection between the two
   peers.  The application can call isEstablished() to determine if the
   context establishment phase is complete for this peer.  A return
   value of "false" from isEstablished() indicates that more tokens are
   expected to be supplied to the initSecContext() method.  Note that it
   is possible that the initSecContext() method will return a token for

   the peer and isEstablished() will return "true" also.  This indicates
   that the token needs to be sent to the peer, but the local end of the
   context is now fully established.

   Upon completion of the context establishment, the available context
   options may be queried through the get methods.

   Parameters:

      inputBuf:     Token generated by the peer.  This parameter is
                    ignored on the first call.

      offset:       The offset within the inputBuf where the token
                    begins.

      len:          The length of the token within the inputBuf
                    (starting at the offset).

7.4.4.  Example Code

      // Create a new GSSContext implementation object.
      // GSSContext wrapper implements interface GSSContext.
      GSSContext context = mgr.createContext(...);

      byte[] inTok = new byte[0];

      try {
          do {
              byte[] outTok = context.initSecContext(inTok, 0,
                              inTok.length);

              // send the token if present
              if (outTok != null)
                  sendToken(outTok);

              // check if we should expect more tokens
              if (context.isEstablished())
                  break;

              // another token expected from peer
              inTok = readToken();
          } while (true);

      } catch (GSSException e) {
         print("GSSAPI error: " + e.getMessage());
      }

7.4.5.  initSecContext

   public int initSecContext(InputStream inStream,
              OutputStream outStream) throws GSSException

   Called by the context initiator to start the context creation
   process.  This is equivalent to the byte-array-based method.  This
   method may write an output token to the outStream, which the
   application will need to send to the peer for processing by the
   accept call.  Typically, the application would do so by calling the
   flush() method on an OutputStream that encapsulates the connection
   between the two peers.  The application can call isEstablished() to
   determine if the context establishment phase is complete for this
   peer.  A return value of "false" from isEstablished indicates that
   more tokens are expected to be supplied to the initSecContext method.
   Note that it is possible that the initSecContext() method will return
   a token for the peer and isEstablished() will return "true" also.
   This indicates that the token needs to be sent to the peer, but the
   local end of the context is now fully established.

   The GSS-API authentication tokens contain a definitive start and end.
   This method will attempt to read one of these tokens per invocation,
   and may block on the stream if only part of the token is available.

   Upon completion of the context establishment, the available context
   options may be queried through the get methods.

   Parameters:

      inStream:     Contains the token generated by the peer.  This
                    parameter is ignored on the first call.

      outStream:    Output stream where the output token will be
                    written.  During the final stage of context
                    establishment, there may be no bytes written.

7.4.6.  Example Code

   This sample code merely demonstrates the token exchange during the
   context establishment phase.  It is expected that most Java
   applications will use custom implementations of the Input and Output
   streams that encapsulate the communication routines.  For instance, a
   simple read on the application InputStream, when called by the
   Context, might cause a token to be read from the peer, and a simple
   flush() on the application OutputStream might cause a previously
   written token to be transmitted to the peer.

      // Create a new GSSContext implementation object.
      // GSSContext wrapper implements interface GSSContext.
      GSSContext context = mgr.createContext(...);
      // use standard java.io stream objects
      ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
      ByteArrayInputStream is = null;

      try {
          do {
              context.initSecContext(is, os);

              // send token if present
              if (os.size() > 0)
                  sendToken(os);

              // check if we should expect more tokens
              if (context.isEstablished())
                  break;

              // another token expected from peer
              is = recvToken();

          } while (true);

      } catch (GSSException e) {
          print("GSSAPI error: " + e.getMessage());
      }

7.4.7.  acceptSecContext

   public byte[] acceptSecContext(byte[] inTok, int offset, int len)
              throws GSSException

   Called by the context acceptor upon receiving a token from the peer.
   This call is equivalent to the stream-based method except that the
   token buffers are handled as byte arrays instead of using stream
   objects.

   This method may return an output token that the application will need
   to send to the peer for further processing by the init call.

   The "null" return value indicates that no token needs to be sent to
   the peer.  The application can call isEstablished() to determine if
   the context establishment phase is complete for this peer.  A return
   value of "false" from isEstablished() indicates that more tokens are
   expected to be supplied to this method.

   Note that it is possible that acceptSecContext() will return a token
   for the peer and isEstablished() will return "true" also.  This
   indicates that the token needs to be sent to the peer, but the local
   end of the context is now fully established.

   Upon completion of the context establishment, the available context
   options may be queried through the get methods.

   Parameters:

      inTok:        Token generated by the peer.

      offset:       The offset within the inTok where the token begins.

      len:          The length of the token within the inTok (starting
                    at the offset).

7.4.8.  Example Code

      // acquire server credentials
      GSSCredential server = mgr.createCredential(...);

      // create acceptor GSS-API context from the default provider
      GSSContext context = mgr.createContext(server, null);

      try {
          do {
              byte[] inTok = readToken();

              byte[] outTok = context.acceptSecContext(inTok, 0,
                              inTok.length);

              // possibly send token to peer
              if (outTok != null)
                  sendToken(outTok);

              // check if local context establishment is complete
              if (context.isEstablished())
                  break;
          } while (true);

      } catch (GSSException e) {
         print("GSS-API error: " + e.getMessage());
      }

7.4.9.  acceptSecContext

   public void acceptSecContext(InputStream inStream,
                    OutputStream outStream) throws GSSException

   Called by the context acceptor upon receiving a token from the peer.
   This call is equivalent to the byte array method.  It may write an
   output token to the outStream, which the application will need to
   send to the peer for processing by its initSecContext method.
   Typically, the application would do so by calling the flush() method
   on an OutputStream that encapsulates the connection between the two
   peers.  The application can call isEstablished() to determine if the
   context establishment phase is complete for this peer.  A return
   value of "false" from isEstablished() indicates that more tokens are
   expected to be supplied to this method.

   Note that it is possible that acceptSecContext() will return a token
   for the peer and isEstablished() will return "true" also.  This
   indicates that the token needs to be sent to the peer, but the local
   end of the context is now fully established.

   The GSS-API authentication tokens contain a definitive start and end.
   This method will attempt to read one of these tokens per invocation,
   and may block on the stream if only part of the token is available.

   Upon completion of the context establishment, the available context
   options may be queried through the get methods.

   Parameters:

      inStream:     Contains the token generated by the peer.

      outStream:    Output stream where the output token will be
                    written.  During the final stage of context
                    establishment, there may be no bytes written.

7.4.10.  Example Code

   This sample code merely demonstrates the token exchange during the
   context establishment phase.  It is expected that most Java
   applications will use custom implementations of the Input and Output
   streams that encapsulate the communication routines.  For instance, a
   simple read on the application InputStream, when called by the
   Context, might cause a token to be read from the peer, and a simple
   flush() on the application OutputStream might cause a previously
   written token to be transmitted to the peer.

      // acquire server credentials
      GSSCredential server = mgr.createCredential(...);

      // create acceptor GSS-API context from the default provider
      GSSContext context = mgr.createContext(server, null);

      // use standard java.io stream objects
      ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
      ByteArrayInputStream is = null;

      try {
          do {

              is = recvToken();

              context.acceptSecContext(is, os);

              // possibly send token to peer
              if (os.size() > 0)
                  sendToken(os);

              // check if local context establishment is complete
              if (context.isEstablished())
                  break;
          } while (true);

      } catch (GSSException e) {
          print("GSS-API error: " + e.getMessage());
      }

7.4.11.  isEstablished

   public boolean isEstablished()

   Used during context establishment to determine the state of the
   context.  Returns "true" if this is a fully established context on
   the caller's side and no more tokens are needed from the peer.
   Should be called after a call to initSecContext() or
   acceptSecContext() when no GSSException is thrown.

7.4.12.  dispose

   public void dispose() throws GSSException

   Releases any system resources and cryptographic information stored in
   the context object.  This will invalidate the context.

7.4.13.  getWrapSizeLimit

   public int getWrapSizeLimit(int qop, boolean confReq,
              int maxTokenSize) throws GSSException

   Returns the maximum message size that, if presented to the wrap
   method with the same confReq and qop parameters, will result in an
   output token containing no more than the maxTokenSize bytes.

   This call is intended for use by applications that communicate over
   protocols that impose a maximum message size.  It enables the
   application to fragment messages prior to applying protection.

   GSS-API implementations are recommended but not required to detect
   invalid QOP values when getWrapSizeLimit is called.  This routine
   guarantees only a maximum message size, not the availability of
   specific QOP values for message protection.

   Successful completion of this call does not guarantee that wrap will
   be able to protect a message of the computed length, since this
   ability may depend on the availability of system resources at the
   time that wrap is called.  However, if the implementation itself
   imposes an upper limit on the length of messages that may be
   processed by wrap, the implementation should not return a value that
   is greater than this length.

   Parameters:

      qop:          Indicates the level of protection wrap will be asked
                    to provide.

      confReq:      Indicates if wrap will be asked to provide privacy
                    service.

      maxTokenSize: The desired maximum size of the token emitted by
                    wrap.

7.4.14.  wrap

   public byte[] wrap(byte[] inBuf, int offset, int len,
                      MessageProp msgProp) throws GSSException

   Applies per-message security services over the established security
   context.  The method will return a token with a cryptographic MIC and
   may optionally encrypt the specified inBuf.  This method is
   equivalent in functionality to its stream counterpart.  The returned
   byte array will contain both the MIC and the message.

   The MessageProp object is instantiated by the application and used to
   specify a QOP value that selects cryptographic algorithms, and a
   privacy service to optionally encrypt the message.  The underlying
   mechanism that is used in the call may not be able to provide the
   privacy service.  It sets the actual privacy service that it does
   provide in this MessageProp object, which the caller should then
   query upon return.  If the mechanism is not able to provide the
   requested QOP, it throws a GSSException with the BAD_QOP code.

   Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted
   by wrap to provide "secure framing", implementations should support
   the wrapping of zero-length messages.

   The application will be responsible for sending the token to the
   peer.

   Parameters:

      inBuf:        Application data to be protected.

      offset:       The offset within the inBuf where the data begins.

      len:          The length of the data within the inBuf (starting at
                    the offset).

      msgProp:      Instance of MessageProp that is used by the
                    application to set the desired QOP and privacy
                    state.  Set the desired QOP to 0 to request the
                    default QOP.  Upon return from this method, this
                    object will contain the actual privacy state that
                    was applied to the message by the underlying
                    mechanism.

7.4.15.  wrap

   public void wrap(InputStream inStream, OutputStream outStream,
                    MessageProp msgProp) throws GSSException

   Allows to apply per-message security services over the established
   security context.  The method will produce a token with a
   cryptographic MIC and may optionally encrypt the message in inStream.
   The outStream will contain both the MIC and the message.

   The MessageProp object is instantiated by the application and used to
   specify a QOP value that selects cryptographic algorithms, and a
   privacy service to optionally encrypt the message.  The underlying
   mechanism that is used in the call may not be able to provide the
   privacy service.  It sets the actual privacy service that it does

   provide in this MessageProp object, which the caller should then
   query upon return.  If the mechanism is not able to provide the
   requested QOP, it throws a GSSException with the BAD_QOP code.

   Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted
   by wrap to provide "secure framing", implementations should support
   the wrapping of zero-length messages.

   The application will be responsible for sending the token to the
   peer.

   Parameters:

      inStream:     Input stream containing the application data to be
                    protected.

      outStream:    The output stream to which to write the protected
                    message.  The application is responsible for sending
                    this to the other peer for processing in its unwrap
                    method.

      msgProp:      Instance of MessageProp that is used by the
                    application to set the desired QOP and privacy
                    state.  Set the desired QOP to 0 to request the
                    default QOP.  Upon return from this method, this
                    object will contain the actual privacy state that
                    was applied to the message by the underlying
                    mechanism.

7.4.16.  unwrap

   public byte[] unwrap(byte[] inBuf, int offset, int len,
                        MessageProp msgProp) throws GSSException

   Used by the peer application to process tokens generated with the
   wrap call.  This call is equal in functionality to its stream
   counterpart.  The method will return the message supplied in the peer
   application to the wrap call, verifying the embedded MIC.

   The MessageProp object is instantiated by the application and is used
   by the underlying mechanism to return information to the caller such
   as the QOP, whether confidentiality was applied to the message, and
   other supplementary message state information.

   Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted
   by wrap to provide "secure framing", implementations should support
   the wrapping and unwrapping of zero-length messages.

   Parameters:

      inBuf:        GSS-API wrap token received from peer.

      offset:       The offset within the inBuf where the token begins.

      len:          The length of the token within the inBuf (starting
                    at the offset).

      msgProp:      Upon return from the method, this object will
                    contain the applied QOP, the privacy state of the
                    message, and supplementary information, described in
                    section 5.12.3, stating whether the token was a
                    duplicate, old, out of sequence, or arriving after a
                    gap.

7.4.17.  unwrap

   public void unwrap(InputStream inStream, OutputStream outStream,
                      MessageProp msgProp) throws GSSException

   Used by the peer application to process tokens generated with the
   wrap call.  This call is equal in functionality to its byte array
   counterpart.  It will produce the message supplied in the peer
   application to the wrap call, verifying the embedded MIC.

   The MessageProp object is instantiated by the application and is used
   by the underlying mechanism to return information to the caller such
   as the QOP, whether confidentiality was applied to the message, and
   other supplementary message state information.

   Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted
   by wrap to provide "secure framing", implementations should support
   the wrapping and unwrapping of zero-length messages.

   Parameters:

      inStream:     Input stream containing the GSS-API wrap token
                    received from the peer.

      outStream:    The output stream to which to write the application
                    message.

      msgProp:      Upon return from the method, this object will
                    contain the applied QOP, the privacy state of the
                    message, and supplementary information, described in
                    section 5.12.3, stating whether the token was a
                    duplicate, old, out of sequence, or arriving after a
                    gap.

7.4.18.  getMIC

   public byte[] getMIC(byte[] inMsg, int offset, int len,
                        MessageProp msgProp) throws GSSException

   Returns a token containing a cryptographic MIC for the supplied
   message for transfer to the peer application.  Unlike wrap, which
   encapsulates the user message in the returned token, only the message
   MIC is returned in the output token.  This method is identical in
   functionality to its stream counterpart.

   Note that privacy can only be applied through the wrap call.

   Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted
   by getMIC to provide "secure framing", implementations should support
   derivation of MICs from zero-length messages.

   Parameters:

      inMsg:        Message over which to generate MIC.

      offset:       The offset within the inMsg where the token begins.

      len:          The length of the token within the inMsg (starting
                    at the offset).

      msgProp:      Instance of MessageProp that is used by the
                    application to set the desired QOP.  Set the desired
                    QOP to 0 in msgProp to request the default QOP.
                    Alternatively, pass in "null" for msgProp to request
                    default QOP.

7.4.19.  getMIC

   public void getMIC(InputStream inStream, OutputStream outStream,
                      MessageProp msgProp) throws GSSException

   Produces a token containing a cryptographic MIC for the supplied
   message, for transfer to the peer application.  Unlike wrap, which
   encapsulates the user message in the returned token, only the message
   MIC is produced in the output token.  This method is identical in
   functionality to its byte array counterpart.

   Note that privacy can only be applied through the wrap call.

   Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted
   by getMIC to provide "secure framing", implementations should support
   derivation of MICs from zero-length messages.

   Parameters:

      inStream:     Input stream containing the message over which to
                    generate MIC.

      outStream:    Output stream to which to write the GSS-API output
                    token.

      msgProp:      Instance of MessageProp that is used by the
                    application to set the desired QOP.  Set the desired
                    QOP to 0 in msgProp to request the default QOP.
                    Alternatively, pass in "null" for msgProp to request
                    default QOP.

7.4.20.  verifyMIC

   public void verifyMIC(byte[] inTok, int tokOffset, int tokLen,
                         byte[] inMsg, int msgOffset, int msgLen,
                         MessageProp msgProp) throws GSSException

   Verifies the cryptographic MIC, contained in the token parameter,
   over the supplied message.  This method is equivalent in
   functionality to its stream counterpart.

   The MessageProp object is instantiated by the application and is used
   by the underlying mechanism to return information to the caller such
   as the QOP indicating the strength of protection that was applied to
   the message and other supplementary message state information.

   Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted
   by getMIC to provide "secure framing", implementations should support
   the calculation and verification of MICs over zero-length messages.

   Parameters:

      inTok:        Token generated by peer's getMIC method.

      tokOffset:    The offset within the inTok where the token begins.

      tokLen:       The length of the token within the inTok (starting
                    at the offset).

      inMsg:        Application message over which to verify the
                    cryptographic MIC.

      msgOffset:    The offset within the inMsg where the message
                    begins.

      msgLen:       The length of the message within the inMsg (starting
                    at the offset).

      msgProp:      Upon return from the method, this object will
                    contain the applied QOP and supplementary
                    information, described in section 5.12.3, stating
                    whether the token was a duplicate, old, out of
                    sequence, or arriving after a gap.  The
                    confidentiality state will be set to "false".

7.4.21.  verifyMIC

   public void verifyMIC(InputStream tokStream, InputStream msgStream,
                         MessageProp msgProp) throws GSSException

   Verifies the cryptographic MIC, contained in the token parameter,
   over the supplied message.  This method is equivalent in
   functionality to its byte array counterpart.

   The MessageProp object is instantiated by the application and is used
   by the underlying mechanism to return information to the caller such
   as the QOP indicating the strength of protection that was applied to
   the message and other supplementary message state information.

   Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted
   by getMIC to provide "secure framing", implementations should support
   the calculation and verification of MICs over zero-length messages.

   Parameters:

                    which to verify the cryptographic MIC.

      msgProp:      Upon return from the method, this object will
                    contain the applied QOP and supplementary
                    information, described in section 5.12.3, stating
                    whether the token was a duplicate, old, out of
                    sequence, or arriving after a gap.  The
                    confidentiality state will be set to "false".

7.4.22.  export

   public byte[] export() throws GSSException

   Provided to support the sharing of work between multiple processes.
   This routine will typically be used by the context acceptor, in an
   application where a single process receives incoming connection
   requests and accepts security contexts over them, then passes the
   established context to one or more other processes for message
   exchange.

   This method deactivates the security context and creates an inter-
   process token which, when passed to the byte array constructor of the
   GSSContext interface in another process, will re-activate the context
   in the second process.  Only a single instantiation of a given
   context may be active at any one time; a subsequent attempt by a
   context exporter to access the exported security context will fail.

   The implementation may constrain the set of processes by which the
   inter-process token may be imported, either as a function of local
   security policy, or as a result of implementation decisions.  For
   example, some implementations may constrain contexts to be passed
   only between processes that run under the same account, or which are
   part of the same process group.

   The inter-process token may contain security-sensitive information
   (for example, cryptographic keys).  While mechanisms are encouraged
   to either avoid placing such sensitive information within inter-
   process tokens or to encrypt the token before returning it to the
   application, in a typical GSS-API implementation, this may not be
   possible.  Thus, the application must take care to protect the
   inter-process token, and ensure that any process to which the token
   is transferred is trustworthy.
