NAME

DH_generate_key, DH_compute_key − perform Diffie−Hellman key exchange

SYNOPSIS 

 #include <openssl/dh.h>
 int DH_generate_key(DH *dh);

 int DH_compute_key(unsigned char *key, BIGNUM *pub_key, DH *dh);

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 dh to contain the shared parameters dh−>p and dh−>g. It generates a random private DH value unless dh−>priv_key is already set, and computes the corresponding public value dh−>pub_key, which can then be published.

DH_compute_key() computes the shared secret from the private DH value in dh and the other party’s public value in pub_key and stores it in key. key must point to DH_size(dh) bytes of memory.

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 ERR_get_error(3).

SEE ALSO

HISTORY

DH_generate_key() and DH_compute_key() are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
