NAME

6       gnutls_dh_params_generate2 - This function will generate new DH parame‐
7       ters
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
11
12       int gnutls_dh_params_generate2(gnutls_dh_params_t params, unsigned  int
13       bits);
14

ARGUMENTS

16       gnutls_dh_params_t params
17                   Is the structure that the DH parameters will be stored
18
19       unsigned int bits
20                   is the prime's number of bits
21

DESCRIPTION

23       This  function  will generate a new pair of prime and generator for use
24       in the Diffie-Hellman key exchange. The new parameters  will  be  allo‐
25       cated  using  gnutls_malloc()  and  will  be  stored in the appropriate
26       datum.  This function is normally slow.
27
28       Note that the bits value should be one of  768,  1024,  2048,  3072  or
29       4096.   Also  note  that  the DH parameters are only useful to servers.
30       Since clients use the parameters sent by the server, it's of no use  to
31       call this in client side.
