- =head1 NAME
- DH_generate_key, DH_compute_key - perform Diffie-Hellman key exchange
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
- #include <openssl/dh.h>
- int DH_generate_key(DH *dh);
- int DH_compute_key(unsigned char *key, BIGNUM *pub_key, DH *dh);
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
- DH_generate_key() performs the first step of a Diffie-Hellman key
- exchange by generating private and public DH values. By calling
- DH_compute_key(), these are combined with the other party's public
- value to compute the shared key.
- DH_generate_key() expects B<dh> to contain the shared parameters
- B<dh-E<gt>p> and B<dh-E<gt>g>. It generates a random private DH value
- unless B<dh-E<gt>priv_key> is already set, and computes the
- corresponding public value B<dh-E<gt>pub_key>, which can then be
- published.
- DH_compute_key() computes the shared secret from the private DH value
- in B<dh> and the other party's public value in B<pub_key> and stores
- it in B<key>. B<key> must point to B<DH_size(dh)> bytes of memory.
- =head1 RETURN VALUES
- DH_generate_key() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise.
- DH_compute_key() returns the size of the shared secret on success, -1
- on error.
- The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
- =head1 SEE ALSO
- L<dh(3)|dh(3)>, L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>, L<rand(3)|rand(3)>, L<DH_size(3)|DH_size(3)>
- =head1 HISTORY
- DH_generate_key() and DH_compute_key() are available in all versions
- of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
