=head1 NAME
DH_generate_parameters_ex, DH_generate_parameters,
DH_check, DH_check_params - generate and check Diffie-Hellman
parameters
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dh.h>
int DH_generate_parameters_ex(DH *dh, int prime_len, int generator, BN_GENCB *cb);
int DH_check(DH *dh, int *codes);
int DH_check_params(DH *dh, int *codes);
Deprecated:
#if OPENSSL_API_COMPAT < 0x00908000L
DH *DH_generate_parameters(int prime_len, int generator,
void (*callback)(int, int, void *), void *cb_arg);
#endif
=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 prior to calling DH_generate_parameters().
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(3)> for information on
the BN_GENCB_call() function.
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.
=back
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.
=back
=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() (deprecated) returns a pointer to the DH structure, or
NULL if the parameter generation fails.
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
=head1 NOTES
DH_generate_parameters_ex() and DH_generate_parameters() may run for several
hours before finding a suitable prime.
The parameters generated by DH_generate_parameters_ex() and DH_generate_parameters()
are not to be used in signature schemes.
