Using Context Management

Client and server in a communication link cooperate to create a security context. The client and server then use that security context with the message support functions to ensure message integrity and privacy during the connection.

The client calls InitializeSecurityContext and sends the output from that call as a "Client Hello" message to the server. The server use the message it receives in its call to AcceptSecurityContext. The server sends back to the client the output it receives from the call to AcceptSecurityContext as a "Server Hello" message.
