|
|
A \fB\s-1DH_METHOD\s0\fR specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for Diffie-Hellman
|
|
operations. By modifying the method, alternative implementations
|
|
such as hardware accelerators may be used. \s-1IMPORTANT:\s0 See the \s-1NOTES\s0 section for
|
|
important information about how these \s-1DH\s0 \s-1API\s0 functions are affected by the use
|
|
of \fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fR \s-1API\s0 calls.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Initially, the default \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 is the OpenSSL internal implementation, as
|
|
returned by \fIDH_OpenSSL()\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIDH_set_default_method()\fR makes \fBmeth\fR the default method for all \s-1DH\s0
|
|
structures created later. \fB\s-1NB\s0\fR: This is true only whilst no \s-1ENGINE\s0 has been set
|
|
as a default for \s-1DH\s0, so this function is no longer recommended.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIDH_get_default_method()\fR returns a pointer to the current default \s-1DH_METHOD\s0.
|
|
However, the meaningfulness of this result is dependent on whether the \s-1ENGINE\s0
|
|
\&\s-1API\s0 is being used, so this function is no longer recommended.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIDH_set_method()\fR selects \fBmeth\fR to perform all operations using the key \fBdh\fR.
|
|
This will replace the \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 used by the \s-1DH\s0 key and if the previous method
|
|
was supplied by an \s-1ENGINE\s0, the handle to that \s-1ENGINE\s0 will be released during the
|
|
change. It is possible to have \s-1DH\s0 keys that only work with certain \s-1DH_METHOD\s0
|
|
implementations (eg. from an \s-1ENGINE\s0 module that supports embedded
|
|
hardware-protected keys), and in such cases attempting to change the \s-1DH_METHOD\s0
|
|
for the key can have unexpected results.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIDH_new_method()\fR allocates and initializes a \s-1DH\s0 structure so that \fBengine\fR will
|
|
be used for the \s-1DH\s0 operations. If \fBengine\fR is \s-1NULL\s0, the default \s-1ENGINE\s0 for \s-1DH\s0
|
|
operations is used, and if no default \s-1ENGINE\s0 is set, the \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 controlled by
|
|
\&\fIDH_set_default_method()\fR is used.

.IX Header "NOTES"
|
|
As of version 0.9.7, \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 implementations are grouped together with other
|
|
algorithmic APIs (eg. \s-1RSA_METHOD\s0, \s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0, etc) in \fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fR modules. If a
|
|
default \s-1ENGINE\s0 is specified for \s-1DH\s0 functionality using an \s-1ENGINE\s0 \s-1API\s0 function,
|
|
that will override any \s-1DH\s0 defaults set using the \s-1DH\s0 \s-1API\s0 (ie.
|
|
\&\fIDH_set_default_method()\fR). For this reason, the \s-1ENGINE\s0 \s-1API\s0 is the recommended way
|
|
to control default implementations for use in \s-1DH\s0 and other cryptographic
|
|
algorithms.

\&\fIDH_set_default_method()\fR, \fIDH_get_default_method()\fR, \fIDH_set_method()\fR,

|
\&\fIDH_new_method()\fR and \fIDH_OpenSSL()\fR were added in OpenSSL 0.9.4.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIDH_set_default_openssl_method()\fR and \fIDH_get_default_openssl_method()\fR replaced
|
|
\&\fIDH_set_default_method()\fR and \fIDH_get_default_method()\fR respectively, and
|
|
\&\fIDH_set_method()\fR and \fIDH_new_method()\fR were altered to use \fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fRs rather than
|
|
\&\fB\s-1DH_METHOD\s0\fRs during development of the engine version of OpenSSL 0.9.6. For
|
|
0.9.7, the handling of defaults in the \s-1ENGINE\s0 \s-1API\s0 was restructured so that this
|
|
change was reversed, and behaviour of the other functions resembled more closely
|
|
the previous behaviour. The behaviour of defaults in the \s-1ENGINE\s0 \s-1API\s0 now
|
|
transparently overrides the behaviour of defaults in the \s-1DH\s0 \s-1API\s0 without
|
|
requiring changing these function prototypes.
