DH_generate_key(3)                           OpenSSL                           DH_generate_key(3)



NAME
       DH_generate_key, DH_compute_key - perform Diffie-Hellman key exchange

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/dh.h>

        int DH_generate_key(DH *dh);

        int DH_compute_key(unsigned char *key, BIGNUM *pub_key, DH *dh);

DESCRIPTION
       DH_generate_key() performs the first step of a Diffie-Hellman key exchange by generating
       private and public DH values. By calling DH_compute_key(), these are combined with the
       other party's public value to compute the shared key.

       DH_generate_key() expects dh to contain the shared parameters dh->p and dh->g. It
       generates a random private DH value unless dh->priv_key is already set, and computes the
       corresponding public value dh->pub_key, which can then be published.

       DH_compute_key() computes the shared secret from the private DH value in dh and the other
       party's public value in pub_key and stores it in key. key must point to DH_size(dh) bytes
       of memory.

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 ERR_get_error(3).

SEE ALSO

HISTORY
       DH_generate_key() and DH_compute_key() are available in all versions of SSLeay and
       OpenSSL.
