.Ft krb5_error_code
.Fn krb5_crypto_destroy "krb5_context context" "krb5_crypto crypto"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
-These functions are used to initialize an encryption context that can
-be used to encrypt or checksum data.
+Heimdal exports parts of the Kerberos crypto interface for applications.
.Pp
-The
-.Fn krb5_crypt_init
-initializes the encrytion context
-.Fa crypto .
-The
-.Fa key
-parameter is the key to use for encryption, and checksums. The
-encryption type to use is taken from the key, but can be overridden
+Each kerberos encrytion/checksum function takes a crypto context.
+.Pp
+To setup and destroy crypto contextes there are two functions
+.Fn krb5_crypto_init
+and
+.Fn krb5_crypto_destroy .
+The encryption type to use is taken from the key, but can be overridden
with the
.Fa enctype parameter .
-.Pp
-.Fn krb5_crypto_destroy
-frees a previously allocated encrypion context.
+This can be useful for encryptions types which is compatiable (DES for
+example).
