NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/dh.h>

Deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, can be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable version value, see DESCRIPTION

All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. Applications should instead use EVP_PKEY_security_bits(3) and DH_compute_key(3).

DH_bits() returns the number of significant bits.

dh and dh->p must not be NULL.

DH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given dh key. See RETURN VALUES

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

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

DH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits.

SEE ALSO

DH_new(3), BN_num_bits(3)

HISTORY

All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.

The DH_bits() function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
