=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
A B<DH_METHOD> specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for Diffie-Hellman
|
|
operations. By modifying the method, alternative implementations
|
|
such as hardware accelerators may be used.
|
|
|
|
Initially, the default is to use the OpenSSL internal implementation.
|
|
DH_OpenSSL() returns a pointer to that method.
|
|
|
|
DH_set_default_openssl_method() makes B<meth> the default method for all DH
|
|
structures created later. B<NB:> This is true only whilst the default engine
|
|
for Diffie-Hellman operations remains as "openssl". ENGINEs provide an
|
|
encapsulation for implementations of one or more algorithms, and all the DH
|
|
functions mentioned here operate within the scope of the default
|
|
"openssl" engine.
|
|
|
|
DH_get_default_openssl_method() returns a pointer to the current default
|
|
method for the "openssl" engine.
|
|
|
|
DH_set_method() selects B<engine> as the engine that will be responsible for
|
|
all operations using the structure B<dh>. If this function completes successfully,
|
|
then the B<dh> structure will have its own functional reference of B<engine>, so
|
|
the caller should remember to free their own reference to B<engine> when they are
|
|
finished with it. NB: An ENGINE's DH_METHOD can be retrieved (or set) by
|
|
ENGINE_get_DH() or ENGINE_set_DH().
|
|
|
|
DH_new_method() allocates and initializes a DH structure so that
|
|
B<engine> will be used for the DH operations. If B<engine> is NULL,
|
|
the default engine for Diffie-Hellman opertaions is used.

=head1 THE DH_METHOD STRUCTURE

typedef struct dh_meth_st
|
|
{
|
|
/* name of the implementation */
|
|
const char *name;
|
|
|
|
/* generate private and public DH values for key agreement */
|
|
int (*generate_key)(DH *dh);
|
|

|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
DH_OpenSSL() and DH_get_default_openssl_method() return pointers to the
|
|
respective B<DH_METHOD>s.
|
|
|
|
DH_set_default_openssl_method() returns no value.
|
|
|
|
DH_set_method() returns non-zero if the ENGINE associated with B<dh>
|
|
was successfully changed to B<engine>.
|
|
|
|
DH_new_method() returns NULL and sets an error code that can be
|
|
obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)> if the allocation fails.
|
|
Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.

|
=head1 HISTORY
|
|
|
|
DH_set_default_method(), DH_get_default_method(), DH_set_method(),
|
|
DH_new_method() and DH_OpenSSL() were added in OpenSSL 0.9.4.
|
|
|
|
DH_set_default_openssl_method() and DH_get_default_openssl_method()
|
|
replaced DH_set_default_method() and DH_get_default_method() respectively,
|
|
and DH_set_method() and DH_new_method() were altered to use B<ENGINE>s
|
|
rather than B<DH_METHOD>s during development of OpenSSL 0.9.6.
