<p>In several cases, after a TLS connection is established, it is desirable
to derive keys to be used in another application or protocol (e.g., in an
other TLS session using pre-shared keys). The following describe GnuTLS&rsquo;
implementation of RFC5705 to extract keys based on a session&rsquo;s master secret.
</p>
<p>The API to use is <a href="Core-TLS-API.html#gnutls_005fprf">gnutls_prf</a>.  The 
function needs to be provided with a label,
and additional context data to mix in the <code>extra</code> parameter. 
Moreover, the API allows to switch the mix of the
client and server random nonces, using the <code>server_random_first</code> parameter.
In typical uses you don&rsquo;t need it, so a zero value should be provided in <code>server_random_first</code>.
</p>
<p>For example, after establishing a TLS session using
<a href="Core-TLS-API.html#gnutls_005fhandshake">gnutls_handshake</a>, you can obtain 32-bytes to be used as key, using this call:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">#define MYLABEL &quot;EXPORTER-My-protocol-name&quot;
#define MYCONTEXT &quot;my-protocol's-1st-session&quot;

char out[32];
rc = gnutls_prf (session, sizeof(MYLABEL)-1, MYLABEL, 0,
                 sizeof(MYCONTEXT)-1, MYCONTEXT, 32, out);
</pre></div>

<p>The output key depends on TLS&rsquo; master secret, and is the same on both client
and server.
</p>
<p>If you don&rsquo;t want to use the RFC5705 interface and not mix in the client and server random
nonces, there is a low-level TLS PRF interface called <a href="Core-TLS-API.html#gnutls_005fprf_005fraw">gnutls_prf_raw</a>.
</p>
