|
|
|
void DH_set_default_method(DH_METHOD *meth);
|
|
|
|
DH_METHOD *DH_get_default_method(void);
|
|
|
|
DH_METHOD *DH_set_method(DH *dh, DH_METHOD *meth);

|
DH_METHOD *DH_OpenSSL(void);

|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
A B<DH_METHOD> specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for Diffie-Hellman
|
|
operations. By modifying the method, alternative implementations
|
|
such as hardware accelerators may be used.
|
|
|
|
Initially, the default is to use the OpenSSL internal implementation.
|
|
DH_OpenSSL() returns a pointer to that method.
|
|
|
|
DH_set_default_method() makes B<meth> the default method for all B<DH>
|
|
structures created later.
|
|
|
|
DH_get_default_method() returns a pointer to the current default
|
|
method.
|
|
|
|
DH_set_method() selects B<meth> for all operations using the structure B<dh>.
|
|
|
|
DH_get_method() returns a pointer to the method currently selected
|
|
for B<dh>.
|
|
|
|
DH_new_method() allocates and initializes a B<DH> structure so that
|
|
B<method> will be used for the DH operations. If B<method> is B<NULL>,
|
|
the default method is used.
|
|
|
|
=head1 THE DH_METHOD STRUCTURE
|
|
|
|
typedef struct dh_meth_st
|
|
{
|
|
/* name of the implementation */
|
|
const char *name;
|
|
|
|
/* generate private and public DH values for key agreement */
|
|
int (*generate_key)(DH *dh);
|
|
|
|
/* compute shared secret */
|
|
int (*compute_key)(unsigned char *key, BIGNUM *pub_key, DH *dh);
|
|
|
|
/* compute r = a ^ p mod m. May be NULL */
|
|
int (*bn_mod_exp)(DH *dh, BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *p,
|
|
const BIGNUM *m, BN_CTX *ctx,
|
|
BN_MONT_CTX *m_ctx);
|
|
|
|
/* called at DH_new */
|
|
int (*init)(DH *dh);
|
|
|
|
/* called at DH_free */
|
|
int (*finish)(DH *dh);
|
|
|
|
int flags;
|

|

|
|
} DH_METHOD;
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
DH_OpenSSL(), DH_get_default_method() and DH_get_method() return
|
|
pointers to the respective B<DH_METHOD>s.
|
|
|
|
DH_set_default_method() returns no value.
|
|
|
|
DH_set_method() returns a pointer to the B<DH_METHOD> previously
|
|
associated with B<dh>.
|
|
|
|
DH_new_method() returns B<NULL> and sets an error code that can be
|
|
obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)> if the allocation fails. Otherwise it
|
|
returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.

|
=head1 HISTORY
|
|
|
|
DH_set_default_method(), DH_get_default_method(), DH_set_method(),
|
|
DH_new_method() and DH_OpenSSL() were added in OpenSSL 0.9.4.
