.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBDH_generate_parameters_ex()\fR generates Diffie-Hellman parameters that can
be shared among a group of users, and stores them in the provided \fB\s-1DH\s0\fR
structure. The pseudo-random number generator must be
seeded before calling it.
The parameters generated by \fBDH_generate_parameters_ex()\fR should not be used in
signature schemes.
.PP
\&\fBprime_len\fR is the length in bits of the safe prime to be generated.
\&\fBgenerator\fR is a small number > 1, typically 2 or 5.
.PP
A callback function may be used to provide feedback about the progress
of the key generation. If \fBcb\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR, it will be
called as described in \fBBN_generate_prime\fR\|(3) while a random prime
number is generated, and when a prime has been found, \fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 3, 0)\fR
is called. See \fBBN_generate_prime_ex\fR\|(3) for information on
the \fBBN_GENCB_call()\fR function.
.PP
\&\fBDH_generate_parameters()\fR is similar to \fBDH_generate_prime_ex()\fR but
expects an old-style callback function; see
\&\fBBN_generate_prime\fR\|(3) for information on the old-style callback.
.PP
\&\fBDH_check_params()\fR confirms that the \fBp\fR and \fBg\fR are likely enough to
be valid.
This is a lightweight check, if a more thorough check is needed, use
\&\fBDH_check()\fR.
The value of \fB*codes\fR is updated with any problems found.
If \fB*codes\fR is zero then no problems were found, otherwise the
following bits may be set:
.IP "\s-1DH_CHECK_P_NOT_PRIME\s0" 4
.IX Item "DH_CHECK_P_NOT_PRIME"
The parameter \fBp\fR has been determined to not being an odd prime.
Note that the lack of this bit doesn't guarantee that \fBp\fR is a
prime.
.IP "\s-1DH_NOT_SUITABLE_GENERATOR\s0" 4
.IX Item "DH_NOT_SUITABLE_GENERATOR"
The generator \fBg\fR is not suitable.
Note that the lack of this bit doesn't guarantee that \fBg\fR is
suitable, unless \fBp\fR is known to be a strong prime.
.PP
\&\fBDH_check()\fR confirms that the Diffie-Hellman parameters \fBdh\fR are valid. The
value of \fB*codes\fR is updated with any problems found. If \fB*codes\fR is zero then
no problems were found, otherwise the following bits may be set:
.IP "\s-1DH_CHECK_P_NOT_PRIME\s0" 4
.IX Item "DH_CHECK_P_NOT_PRIME"
The parameter \fBp\fR is not prime.
.IP "\s-1DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME\s0" 4
.IX Item "DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME"
The parameter \fBp\fR is not a safe prime and no \fBq\fR value is present.
.IP "\s-1DH_UNABLE_TO_CHECK_GENERATOR\s0" 4
.IX Item "DH_UNABLE_TO_CHECK_GENERATOR"
The generator \fBg\fR cannot be checked for suitability.
.IP "\s-1DH_NOT_SUITABLE_GENERATOR\s0" 4
.IX Item "DH_NOT_SUITABLE_GENERATOR"
The generator \fBg\fR is not suitable.
.IP "\s-1DH_CHECK_Q_NOT_PRIME\s0" 4
.IX Item "DH_CHECK_Q_NOT_PRIME"
The parameter \fBq\fR is not prime.
.IP "\s-1DH_CHECK_INVALID_Q_VALUE\s0" 4
.IX Item "DH_CHECK_INVALID_Q_VALUE"
The parameter \fBq\fR is invalid.
.IP "\s-1DH_CHECK_INVALID_J_VALUE\s0" 4
.IX Item "DH_CHECK_INVALID_J_VALUE"
The parameter \fBj\fR is invalid.
.PP
\&\fBDH_check_ex()\fR, \fBDH_check_params()\fR and \fBDH_check_pub_key_ex()\fR are similar to
\&\fBDH_check()\fR and \fBDH_check_params()\fR respectively, but the error reasons are added
to the thread's error queue instead of provided as return values from the
function.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBDH_generate_parameters_ex()\fR, \fBDH_check()\fR and \fBDH_check_params()\fR return 1
if the check could be performed, 0 otherwise.
.PP
\&\fBDH_generate_parameters()\fR returns a pointer to the \s-1DH\s0 structure or \s-1NULL\s0 if
the parameter generation fails.
.PP
\&\fBDH_check_ex()\fR, \fBDH_check_params()\fR and \fBDH_check_pub_key_ex()\fR return 1 if the
check is successful, 0 for failed.
.PP
The error codes can be obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
