DH_GENERATE_KEY(3)                  OpenSSL                 DH_GENERATE_KEY(3)
NAME
       DH_generate_key, DH_compute_key, DH_compute_key_padded - perform
       Diffie-Hellman key exchange
SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/dh.h>
        int DH_generate_key(DH *dh);
        int DH_compute_key(unsigned char *key, const BIGNUM *pub_key, DH *dh);
        int DH_compute_key_padded(unsigned char *key, const 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() or DH_compute_key_padded(), 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.  The padding style
       is RFC 5246 (8.1.2) that strips leading zero bytes.  It is not constant
       time due to the leading zero bytes being stripped.  The return value
       should be considered public.
       DH_compute_key_padded() is similar but stores a fixed number of bytes.
       The padding style is NIST SP 800-56A (C.1) that retains leading zero
       bytes.  It is constant time due to the leading zero bytes being
       retained.  The return value should be considered public.
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.
       DH_compute_key_padded() returns DH_size(dh) on success, -1 on error.
       The error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
