=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
These functions implement the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol.
|
|
The generation of shared DH parameters is described in
|
|
L<DH_generate_parameters(3)|DH_generate_parameters(3)>; L<DH_generate_key(3)|DH_generate_key(3)> describes how
|
|
to perform a key agreement.
|
|
|
|
The B<DH> structure consists of several BIGNUM components.
|
|
|
|
struct
|
|
{
|
|
BIGNUM *p; // prime number (shared)
|
|
BIGNUM *g; // generator of Z_p (shared)
|
|
BIGNUM *priv_key; // private DH value x
|
|
BIGNUM *pub_key; // public DH value g^x
|
|
// ...
|
|
};
|
|
DH
|
|
|
|
Note that DH keys may use non-standard B<DH_METHOD> implementations,
|
|
either directly or by the use of B<ENGINE> modules. In some cases (eg. an
|
|
ENGINE providing support for hardware-embedded keys), these BIGNUM values
|
|
will not be used by the implementation or may be used for alternative data
|
|
storage. For this reason, applications should generally avoid using DH
|
|
structure elements directly and instead use API functions to query or
|
|
modify keys.
