40
e52b4215
SL
41All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
42Applications should instead use L<EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param(3)> for any methods that
e304aa87 43return a B<BIGNUM>. Refer to L<EVP_PKEY-DH(7)> for more information.
e52b4215 44

SL
45A DH object contains the parameters I<p>, I<q> and I<g>. Note that the I<q>
46parameter is optional. It also contains a public key (I<pub_key>) and
47(optionally) a private key (I<priv_key>).
0263b992 48
55f02cb6
SL
49The I<p>, I<q> and I<g> parameters can be obtained by calling DH_get0_pqg().
50If the parameters have not yet been set then I<*p>, I<*q> and I<*g> will be set
0263b992
MC
51to NULL. Otherwise they are set to pointers to their respective values. These
52point directly to the internal representations of the values and therefore
53should not be freed directly.
55f02cb6 54Any of the out parameters I<p>, I<q>, and I<g> can be NULL, in which case no
5777254b 55value will be returned for that parameter.
0263b992 56
55f02cb6
SL
57The I<p>, I<q> and I<g> values can be set by calling DH_set0_pqg() and passing
58the new values for I<p>, I<q> and I<g> as parameters to the function. Calling
0263b992
MC
59this function transfers the memory management of the values to the DH object,
60and therefore the values that have been passed in should not be freed directly
55f02cb6
SL
61after this function has been called. The I<q> parameter may be NULL.
62DH_set0_pqg() also checks if the parameters associated with I<p> and I<g> and
63optionally I<q> are associated with known safe prime groups. If it is a safe
738ee181
SL
64prime group then the value of I<q> will be set to q = (p - 1) / 2 if I<q> is
65NULL. The optional length parameter will be set to BN_num_bits(I<q>) if I<q>
66is not NULL.
0263b992
MC
67
68To get the public and private key values use the DH_get0_key() function. A
55f02cb6
SL
69pointer to the public key will be stored in I<*pub_key>, and a pointer to the
70private key will be stored in I<*priv_key>. Either may be NULL if they have not
0263b992
MC
71been set yet, although if the private key has been set then the public key must
72be. The values point to the internal representation of the public key and
73private key values. This memory should not be freed directly.
55f02cb6 74Any of the out parameters I<pub_key> and I<priv_key> can be NULL, in which case
5777254b 75no value will be returned for that parameter.
0263b992 76
7966101e
DB
77The public and private key values can be set using DH_set0_key(). Either
78parameter may be NULL, which means the corresponding DH field is left
79untouched. As with DH_set0_pqg() this function transfers the memory management
80of the key values to the DH object, and therefore they should not be freed
81directly after this function has been called.
0263b992 82
55f02cb6 83Any of the values I<p>, I<q>, I<g>, I<priv_key>, and I<pub_key> can also be
6db7fadf
DMSP
84retrieved separately by the corresponding function DH_get0_p(), DH_get0_q(),
85DH_get0_g(), DH_get0_priv_key(), and DH_get0_pub_key(), respectively.
86
55f02cb6 87DH_set_flags() sets the flags in the I<flags> parameter on the DH object.
0263b992
MC
88Multiple flags can be passed in one go (bitwise ORed together). Any flags that
89are already set are left set. DH_test_flags() tests to see whether the flags
55f02cb6 90passed in the I<flags> parameter are currently set in the DH object. Multiple
0263b992
MC
91flags can be tested in one go. All flags that are currently set are returned, or
92zero if none of the flags are set. DH_clear_flags() clears the specified flags
93within the DH object.
94
95DH_get0_engine() returns a handle to the ENGINE that has been set for this DH
e52b4215
SL
96object, or NULL if no such ENGINE has been set. This function is deprecated. All
97engines should be replaced by providers.
0263b992
MC
98
99The DH_get_length() and DH_set_length() functions get and set the optional
9c0586d5 100length parameter associated with this DH object. If the length is nonzero then
55f02cb6 101it is used, otherwise it is ignored. The I<length> parameter indicates the
e52b4215 102length of the secret exponent (private key) in bits. For safe prime groups the optional length parameter I<length> can be
738ee181
SL
103set to a value greater or equal to 2 * maximum_target_security_strength(BN_num_bits(I<p>))
104as listed in SP800-56Ar3 Table(s) 25 & 26.
e52b4215
SL
105These functions are deprecated and should be replaced with
106EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params() and EVP_PKEY_get_int_param() using the parameter key
107B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_DH_PRIV_LEN> as described in L<EVP_PKEY-DH(7)>.

109=head1 NOTES
110
111Values retrieved with DH_get0_key() are owned by the DH object used
112in the call and may therefore I<not> be passed to DH_set0_key(). If
113needed, duplicate the received value using BN_dup() and pass the
114duplicate. The same applies to DH_get0_pqg() and DH_set0_pqg().
115
0263b992
MC
116=head1 RETURN VALUES
117
118DH_set0_pqg() and DH_set0_key() return 1 on success or 0 on failure.
119
6db7fadf 120DH_get0_p(), DH_get0_q(), DH_get0_g(), DH_get0_priv_key(), and DH_get0_pub_key()
5777254b 121return the respective value, or NULL if it is unset.
6db7fadf 122
0263b992
MC
123DH_test_flags() returns the current state of the flags in the DH object.
124
125DH_get0_engine() returns the ENGINE set for the DH object or NULL if no ENGINE
126has been set.
127
128DH_get_length() returns the length of the secret exponent (private key) in bits,
129or zero if no such length has been explicitly set.
