DH_SIZE(3) OpenSSL DH_SIZE(3)
NAME
DH_size, DH_bits, DH_security_bits - get Diffie-Hellman prime size and
security bits
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dh.h>
int DH_size(const DH *dh);
int DH_bits(const DH *dh);
int DH_security_bits(const DH *dh);
DESCRIPTION
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_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 BN_security_bits(3).
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), DH_generate_key(3), BN_num_bits(3)
HISTORY
The DH_bits() function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
