DESCRIPTION
Return a pointer to the 48-byte master secret in the session. The pointer must not be modified or deallocated.If a master secret value has not yet been established, the output will be garbage; in particular, a NULL return value should not be expected.
Consider using gnutls_prf() rather than extracting the master secret and use it to derive further data.
