NAME
DH_size, DH_bits, DH_security_bits - get Diffie-Hellman prime size and security bitsSYNOPSIS
#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.
