NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

10        #include <openssl/dh.h>
11
12        int DH_size(const DH *dh);
13
14        int DH_bits(const DH *dh);
15
16        int DH_security_bits(const DH *dh);
17

DESCRIPTION

19       DH_size() returns the Diffie-Hellman prime size in bytes. It can be
20       used to determine how much memory must be allocated for the shared
21       secret computed by DH_compute_key(3).
22
23       DH_bits() returns the number of significant bits.
24
25       dh and dh->p must not be NULL.
26
27       DH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given dh
28       key. See BN_security_bits(3).
29

RETURN VALUES

31       DH_size() returns the prime size of Diffie-Hellman in bytes.
32
33       DH_bits() returns the number of bits in the key.
34
35       DH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits.
