=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
A DH object contains the parameters B<p>, B<q> and B<g>. Note that the B<q>
|
|
parameter is optional. It also contains a public key (B<pub_key>) and
|
|
(optionally) a private key (B<priv_key>).
|
|
|
|
The B<p>, B<q> and B<g> parameters can be obtained by calling DH_get0_pqg().
|
|
If the parameters have not yet been set then B<*p>, B<*q> and B<*g> will be set
|
|
to NULL. Otherwise they are set to pointers to their respective values. These
|
|
point directly to the internal representations of the values and therefore
|
|
should not be freed directly.
|
|
|
|
The B<p>, B<q> and B<g> values can be set by calling DH_set0_pqg() and passing
|
|
the new values for B<p>, B<q> and B<g> as parameters to the function. Calling
|
|
this function transfers the memory management of the values to the DH object,
|
|
and therefore the values that have been passed in should not be freed directly
|
|
after this function has been called. The B<q> parameter may be NULL.
|
|
|
|
To get the public and private key values use the DH_get0_key() function. A
|
|
pointer to the public key will be stored in B<*pub_key>, and a pointer to the
|
|
private key will be stored in B<*priv_key>. Either may be NULL if they have not
|
|
been set yet, although if the private key has been set then the public key must
|
|
be. The values point to the internal representation of the public key and
|
|
private key values. This memory should not be freed directly.
|
|
|
|
The public and private key values can be set using DH_set0_key(). The public
|
|
key must always be non-NULL. The private key may be NULL. As for DH_set0_pqg()
|
|
this function transfers the memory management of the key values to the DH
|
|
object, and therefore they should not be freed directly after this function has
|
|
been called.
|
|
|
|
DH_set_flags() sets the flags in the B<flags> parameter on the DH object.
|
|
Multiple flags can be passed in one go (bitwise ORed together). Any flags that
|
|
are already set are left set. DH_test_flags() tests to see whether the flags
|
|
passed in the B<flags> parameter are currently set in the DH object. Multiple
|
|
flags can be tested in one go. All flags that are currently set are returned, or
|
|
zero if none of the flags are set. DH_clear_flags() clears the specified flags
|
|
within the DH object.
|
|
|
|
DH_get0_engine() returns a handle to the ENGINE that has been set for this DH
|
|
object, or NULL if no such ENGINE has been set.
|
|
|
|
The DH_get_length() and DH_set_length() functions get and set the optional
|
|
length parameter associated with this DH object. If the length is non-zero then
|
|
it is used, otherwise it is ignored. The B<length> parameter indicates the
|
|
length of the secret exponent (private key) in bits.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
DH_set0_pqg() and DH_set0_key() return 1 on success or 0 on failure.
|
|
|
|
DH_test_flags() returns the current state of the flags in the DH object.
|
|
|
|
DH_get0_engine() returns the ENGINE set for the DH object or NULL if no ENGINE
|
|
has been set.
|
|
|
|
DH_get_length() returns the length of the secret exponent (private key) in bits,
|
|
or zero if no such length has been explicitly set.
