\&\fIDSA_generate_parameters()\fR generates primes p and q and a generator g
|
|
for use in the \s-1DSA\s0.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fBbits\fR is the length of the prime to be generated; the \s-1DSS\s0 allows a
|
|
maximum of 1024 bits.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fBseed\fR is \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR or \fBseed_len\fR < 20, the primes will be
|
|
generated at random. Otherwise, the seed is used to generate
|
|
them. If the given seed does not yield a prime q, a new random
|
|
seed is chosen and placed at \fBseed\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIDSA_generate_parameters()\fR places the iteration count in
|
|
*\fBcounter_ret\fR and a counter used for finding a generator in
|
|
*\fBh_ret\fR, unless these are \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A callback function may be used to provide feedback about the progress
|
|
of the key generation. If \fBcallback\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR, it will be
|
|
called as follows:
|
|
.IP "\(bu" 4
|
|
When a candidate for q is generated, \fBcallback(0, m++, cb_arg)\fR is called
|
|
(m is 0 for the first candidate).
|
|
.IP "\(bu" 4
|
|
When a candidate for q has passed a test by trial division,
|
|
\&\fBcallback(1, \-1, cb_arg)\fR is called.
|
|
While a candidate for q is tested by Miller-Rabin primality tests,
|
|
\&\fBcallback(1, i, cb_arg)\fR is called in the outer loop
|
|
(once for each witness that confirms that the candidate may be prime);
|
|
i is the loop counter (starting at 0).
|
|
.IP "\(bu" 4
|
|
When a prime q has been found, \fBcallback(2, 0, cb_arg)\fR and
|
|
\&\fBcallback(3, 0, cb_arg)\fR are called.
|
|
.IP "\(bu" 4
|
|
Before a candidate for p (other than the first) is generated and tested,
|
|
\&\fBcallback(0, counter, cb_arg)\fR is called.
|
|
.IP "\(bu" 4
|
|
When a candidate for p has passed the test by trial division,
|
|
\&\fBcallback(1, \-1, cb_arg)\fR is called.
|
|
While it is tested by the Miller-Rabin primality test,
|
|
\&\fBcallback(1, i, cb_arg)\fR is called in the outer loop
|
|
(once for each witness that confirms that the candidate may be prime).
|
|
i is the loop counter (starting at 0).
|
|
.IP "\(bu" 4
|
|
When p has been found, \fBcallback(2, 1, cb_arg)\fR is called.
|
|
.IP "\(bu" 4
|
|
When the generator has been found, \fBcallback(3, 1, cb_arg)\fR is called.

\&\fIDSA_generate_parameters()\fR returns a pointer to the \s-1DSA\s0 structure, or

\&\fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if the parameter generation fails. The error codes can be
|
|
obtained by \fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3).

|
|
\&\fIDSA_generate_parameters()\fR appeared in SSLeay 0.8. The \fBcb_arg\fR
|
|
argument was added in SSLeay 0.9.0.
|
|
In versions up to OpenSSL 0.9.4, \fBcallback(1, ...)\fR was called
|
|
in the inner loop of the Miller-Rabin test whenever it reached the
|
|
squaring step (the parameters to \fBcallback\fR did not reveal how many
|
|
witnesses had been tested); since OpenSSL 0.9.5, \fBcallback(1, ...)\fR
|
|
is called as in \fIBN_is_prime\fR\|(3), i.e. once for each witness.
