1=pod 2 3=head1 NAME 4 5DH_generate_key, DH_compute_key, DH_compute_key_padded - perform 6Diffie-Hellman key exchange 7 8=head1 SYNOPSIS 9 10 #include <openssl/dh.h> 11 12The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be 13hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value, 14see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>: 15 16 int DH_generate_key(DH *dh); 17 18 int DH_compute_key(unsigned char *key, const BIGNUM *pub_key, DH *dh); 19 20 int DH_compute_key_padded(unsigned char *key, const BIGNUM *pub_key, DH *dh); 21 22=head1 DESCRIPTION 23 24All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. 25Applications should instead use L<EVP_PKEY_derive_init(3)> 26and L<EVP_PKEY_derive(3)>. 27 28DH_generate_key() performs the first step of a Diffie-Hellman key 29exchange by generating private and public DH values. By calling 30DH_compute_key() or DH_compute_key_padded(), these are combined with 31the other party's public value to compute the shared key. 32 33DH_generate_key() expects B<dh> to contain the shared parameters 34B<dh-E<gt>p> and B<dh-E<gt>g>. It generates a random private DH value 35unless B<dh-E<gt>priv_key> is already set, and computes the 36corresponding public value B<dh-E<gt>pub_key>, which can then be 37published. 38 39DH_compute_key() computes the shared secret from the private DH value 40in B<dh> and the other party's public value in B<pub_key> and stores 41it in B<key>. B<key> must point to B<DH_size(dh)> bytes of memory. 42The padding style is RFC 5246 (8.1.2) that strips leading zero bytes. 43It is not constant time due to the leading zero bytes being stripped. 44The return value should be considered public. 45 46DH_compute_key_padded() is similar but stores a fixed number of bytes. 47The padding style is NIST SP 800-56A (C.1) that retains leading zero bytes. 48It is constant time due to the leading zero bytes being retained. 49The return value should be considered public. 50 51=head1 RETURN VALUES 52 53DH_generate_key() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise. 54 55DH_compute_key() returns the size of the shared secret on success, -1 56on error. 57 58DH_compute_key_padded() returns B<DH_size(dh)> on success, -1 on error. 59 60The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>. 61 62=head1 SEE ALSO 63 64L<EVP_PKEY_derive(3)>, 65L<DH_new(3)>, L<ERR_get_error(3)>, L<RAND_bytes(3)>, L<DH_size(3)> 66 67=head1 HISTORY 68 69DH_compute_key_padded() was added in OpenSSL 1.0.2. 70 71All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0. 72 73=head1 COPYRIGHT 74 75Copyright 2000-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
