NAME
gnutls_dh_params_generate2 - This function will generate new DH parame‐
ters
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int gnutls_dh_params_generate2(gnutls_dh_params_t params, unsigned int
bits);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_dh_params_t params
Is the structure that the DH parameters will be stored
unsigned int bits
is the prime's number of bits
DESCRIPTION
This function will generate a new pair of prime and generator for use
in the Diffie-Hellman key exchange. The new parameters will be allo‐
cated using gnutls_malloc() and will be stored in the appropriate
datum. This function is normally slow.
Note that the bits value should be one of 768, 1024, 2048, 3072 or
4096. Also note that the DH parameters are only useful to servers.
Since clients use the parameters sent by the server, it's of no use to
call this in client side.
