NAME

6       kcapi_kpp_dh_setparam_pkcs3 - set the PG parameters using PKCS3 format
7

SYNOPSIS

9       int kcapi_kpp_dh_setparam_pkcs3(struct kcapi_handle * handle,
10                                       const uint8_t * pkcs3,
11                                       uint32_t pkcs3len);
12

ARGUMENTS

14       handle
15           [in] cipher handle
16
17       pkcs3
18           [in] parameter buffer in DER format
19
20       pkcs3len
21           [in] length of key buffer
22

DESCRIPTION

24       With this function, the caller sets the PG parameters for subsequent
25       cipher operations.
26
27       The parameter set must be in DER format as follows
28
29       SEQUENCE { prime INTEGER ({ dh_get_p }), base INTEGER ({ dh_get_g }) }
30
31       The following command generates such parameter set where the output
32

FILE CONTENT IS HAS THE CORRECT DER STRUCTURE

34       openssl dhparam -outform DER -out dhparam.der 2048
35
36       Note, this function defines that the subsequent key generation and
37       shared secret operation performs an FFC Diffie-Hellman operation.
38
39       After the caller provided the key, the caller may destroy the parameter
40       as it is now maintained by the kernel.
41
42       return upon success the value of the maximum size for the KPP operation
43       is returned (e.g. the prime size); a negative errno-style error code if
44       an error occurred
