By calling +DH_compute_key(), these are combined with the other party's public +value to compute the shared key. + +DH_generate_key() expects B to contain the shared parameters +Bp> and Bg>. It generates a random private DH value +unless Bpriv_key> is already set, and computes the +corresponding public value Bpub_key>, which can then be +published. + +DH_compute_key() computes the shared secret from the private DH value +in B and the other party's public value in B and stores +it in B. B must point to B bytes of memory. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +DH_generate_key() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise. + +DH_compute_key() returns the size of the shared secret on success, -1 +on error. + +The error codes can be obtained by L. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L, L, L, L + +=head1 HISTORY + +DH_generate_key() and DH_compute_key() are available in all versions +of SSLeay and OpenSSL. + +=cut -- cgit v1.2.3
