NAME¶
gnutls_dh_params_generate2 - API function
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int gnutls_dh_params_generate2(gnutls_dh_params_t dparams,
unsigned int bits);
ARGUMENTS¶
- gnutls_dh_params_t dparams
- Is the structure that the DH parameters will be stored
- unsigned int bits
- is the prime's number of bits
DESCRIPTION¶
This function will generate a new pair of prime and generator for use in the
Diffie-Hellman key exchange. The new parameters will be allocated using
gnutls_malloc() and will be stored in the appropriate datum. This
function is normally slow.
Do not set the number of bits directly, use
gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits()
to get bits for
GNUTLS_PK_DSA. Also note that the DH parameters are
only useful to servers. Since clients use the parameters sent by the server,
it's of no use to call this in client side.
RETURNS¶
On success,
GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error
code is returned.
