1=pod 2 3=head1 NAME 4 5DH_size, DH_bits, DH_security_bits - get Diffie-Hellman prime size and 6security bits 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_bits(const DH *dh); 17 18 int DH_size(const DH *dh); 19 20 int DH_security_bits(const DH *dh); 21 22=head1 DESCRIPTION 23 24The functions described on this page are deprecated. 25Applications should instead use L<EVP_PKEY_get_bits(3)>, 26L<EVP_PKEY_get_security_bits(3)> and L<EVP_PKEY_get_size(3)>. 27 28DH_bits() returns the number of significant bits. 29 30B<dh> and B<dh-E<gt>p> must not be B<NULL>. 31 32DH_size() returns the Diffie-Hellman prime size in bytes. It can be used 33to determine how much memory must be allocated for the shared secret 34computed by L<DH_compute_key(3)>. 35 36DH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given B<dh> 37key. See L<BN_security_bits(3)>. 38 39=head1 RETURN VALUES 40 41DH_bits() returns the number of bits in the key, or -1 if 42B<dh> doesn't hold any key parameters. 43 44DH_size() returns the prime size of Diffie-Hellman in bytes, or -1 if 45B<dh> doesn't hold any key parameters. 46 47DH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits, or -1 if 48B<dh> doesn't hold any key parameters. 49 50=head1 SEE ALSO 51 52L<EVP_PKEY_get_bits(3)>, 53L<DH_new(3)>, L<DH_generate_key(3)>, 54L<BN_num_bits(3)> 55 56=head1 HISTORY 57 58All functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0. 59 60=head1 COPYRIGHT 61 62Copyright 2000-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
