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

Description

       The functions described on this page are deprecated.  Applications should instead use
       EVP_PKEY_get_bits(3), EVP_PKEY_get_security_bits(3) and EVP_PKEY_get_size(3).

       DH_bits() returns the number of significant bits.

       dh and dh->p must not be NULL.

       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 DH_compute_key(3).

       DH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given dh key. See BN_security_bits(3).

History

       All functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.

Name

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

Return Values

DH_bits() returns the number of bits in the key, or -1 if dh doesn't hold any key parameters.

       DH_size() returns the prime size of Diffie-Hellman in bytes, or -1 if dh doesn't hold any key parameters.

       DH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits, or -1 if dh doesn't hold any key parameters.

Synopsis

        #include <openssl/dh.h>

       The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be hidden entirely by defining
       OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):

        int DH_bits(const DH *dh);

        int DH_size(const DH *dh);

        int DH_security_bits(const DH *dh);
