  2. =head1 NAME
  3. DH_size, DH_bits, DH_security_bits - get Diffie-Hellman prime size and
  4. security bits
  5. =head1 SYNOPSIS
  6. #include <openssl/dh.h>
  7. int DH_size(const DH *dh);
  8. int DH_bits(const DH *dh);
  9. int DH_security_bits(const DH *dh);
  10. =head1 DESCRIPTION
  11. DH_size() returns the Diffie-Hellman prime size in bytes. It can be used
  12. to determine how much memory must be allocated for the shared secret
  13. computed by L<DH_compute_key(3)>.
  14. DH_bits() returns the number of significant bits.
  15. B<dh> and B<dh-E<gt>p> must not be B<NULL>.
  16. DH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given B<dh>
  17. key. See L<BN_security_bits(3)>.
  18. =head1 RETURN VALUES
  19. DH_size() returns the prime size of Diffie-Hellman in bytes.
  20. DH_bits() returns the number of bits in the key.
  21. DH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits.

  24. L<BN_num_bits(3)>
  25. =head1 HISTORY
  26. DH_bits() was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
