NAME

DH_size, DH_bits, DH_security_bits - get Diffie-Hellman prime size and security bits

SYNOPSIS

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

Deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, can be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable version value, see int DH_size(const DH *dh); int DH_security_bits(const DH *dh);

DESCRIPTION

DH_bits() returns the number of significant bits.

dh and dh->p must not be NULL.

The remaining functions described on this page are deprecated. Applications should instead use EVP_PKEY_size(3).

DH_size() returns the Diffie-Hellman prime size in bytes. It can be used to determine how much memory must be allocated for the shared secret computed by BN_security_bits(3).

RETURN VALUES

DH_bits() returns the number of bits in the key.

DH_size() returns the prime size of Diffie-Hellman in bytes.

DH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits.

SEE ALSO

DH_new(3), BN_num_bits(3)

HISTORY

The DH_size() and DH_security_bits() functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.

The DH_bits() function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
