=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
DH_generate_parameters_ex() generates Diffie-Hellman parameters that can
|
|
be shared among a group of users, and stores them in the provided B<DH>
|
|
structure. The pseudo-random number generator must be
|
|
seeded before calling it.
|
|
The parameters generated by DH_generate_parameters_ex() should not be used in
|
|
signature schemes.
|
|
|
|
B<prime_len> is the length in bits of the safe prime to be generated.
|
|
B<generator> is a small number E<gt> 1, typically 2 or 5.
|
|
|
|
A callback function may be used to provide feedback about the progress
|
|
of the key generation. If B<cb> is not B<NULL>, it will be
|
|
called as described in L<BN_generate_prime(3)> while a random prime
|
|
number is generated, and when a prime has been found, B<BN_GENCB_call(cb, 3, 0)>
|
|
is called. See L<BN_generate_prime_ex(3)> for information on
|
|
the BN_GENCB_call() function.
|
|
|
|
DH_generate_parameters() is similar to DH_generate_prime_ex() but
|
|
expects an old-style callback function; see
|
|
L<BN_generate_prime(3)> for information on the old-style callback.
|
|
|
|
DH_check_params() confirms that the B<p> and B<g> are likely enough to
|
|
be valid.
|
|
This is a lightweight check, if a more thorough check is needed, use
|
|
DH_check().
|
|
The value of B<*codes> is updated with any problems found.
|
|
If B<*codes> is zero then no problems were found, otherwise the
|
|
following bits may be set:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item DH_CHECK_P_NOT_PRIME
|
|
|
|
The parameter B<p> has been determined to not being an odd prime.
|
|
Note that the lack of this bit doesn't guarantee that B<p> is a
|
|
prime.
|
|
|
|
=item DH_NOT_SUITABLE_GENERATOR
|
|
|
|
The generator B<g> is not suitable.
|
|
Note that the lack of this bit doesn't guarantee that B<g> is
|
|
suitable, unless B<p> is known to be a strong prime.
|

|
|
|
|
DH_check() confirms that the Diffie-Hellman parameters B<dh> are valid. The
|
|
value of B<*codes> is updated with any problems found. If B<*codes> is zero then
|
|
no problems were found, otherwise the following bits may be set:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item DH_CHECK_P_NOT_PRIME
|
|
|
|
The parameter B<p> is not prime.
|
|
|
|
=item DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME
|
|
|
|
The parameter B<p> is not a safe prime and no B<q> value is present.
|
|
|
|
=item DH_UNABLE_TO_CHECK_GENERATOR
|
|
|
|
The generator B<g> cannot be checked for suitability.
|
|
|
|
=item DH_NOT_SUITABLE_GENERATOR
|
|
|
|
The generator B<g> is not suitable.
|
|
|
|
=item DH_CHECK_Q_NOT_PRIME
|
|
|
|
The parameter B<q> is not prime.
|
|
|
|
=item DH_CHECK_INVALID_Q_VALUE
|
|
|
|
The parameter B<q> is invalid.
|
|
|
|
=item DH_CHECK_INVALID_J_VALUE
|
|
|
|
The parameter B<j> is invalid.
|
|

|
|
DH_check_ex(), DH_check_params() and DH_check_pub_key_ex() are similar to
|
|
DH_check() and DH_check_params() respectively, but the error reasons are added
|
|
to the thread's error queue instead of provided as return values from the
|
|
function.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
DH_generate_parameters_ex(), DH_check() and DH_check_params() return 1
|
|
if the check could be performed, 0 otherwise.
|
|
|
|
DH_generate_parameters() returns a pointer to the DH structure or NULL if
|
|
the parameter generation fails.
|
|
|
|
DH_check_ex(), DH_check_params() and DH_check_pub_key_ex() return 1 if the
|
|
check is successful, 0 for failed.
|
|
|
|
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.

=head1 HISTORY
|
|
|
|
DH_generate_parameters() was deprecated in OpenSSL 0.9.8; use
|
|
DH_generate_parameters_ex() instead.
