  167. All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
  168. Applications should instead use the provider APIs.
  169. .PP
  170. A \fB\s-1DH_METHOD\s0\fR specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for Diffie-Hellman
  171. operations. By modifying the method, alternative implementations
  172. such as hardware accelerators may be used. \s-1IMPORTANT:\s0 See the \s-1NOTES\s0 section for
  173. important information about how these \s-1DH API\s0 functions are affected by the use
  174. of \fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fR \s-1API\s0 calls.
  175. .PP
  176. Initially, the default \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 is the OpenSSL internal implementation, as
  177. returned by \fBDH_OpenSSL()\fR.
  178. .PP
  179. \&\fBDH_set_default_method()\fR makes \fBmeth\fR the default method for all \s-1DH\s0
  180. structures created later.
  181. \&\fB\s-1NB\s0\fR: This is true only whilst no \s-1ENGINE\s0 has been set
  182. as a default for \s-1DH,\s0 so this function is no longer recommended.
  183. This function is not thread-safe and should not be called at the same time
  184. as other OpenSSL functions.
  185. .PP
  186. \&\fBDH_get_default_method()\fR returns a pointer to the current default \s-1DH_METHOD.\s0
  187. However, the meaningfulness of this result is dependent on whether the \s-1ENGINE
  188. API\s0 is being used, so this function is no longer recommended.
  189. .PP
  190. \&\fBDH_set_method()\fR selects \fBmeth\fR to perform all operations using the key \fBdh\fR.
  191. This will replace the \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 used by the \s-1DH\s0 key and if the previous method
  192. was supplied by an \s-1ENGINE,\s0 the handle to that \s-1ENGINE\s0 will be released during the
  193. change. It is possible to have \s-1DH\s0 keys that only work with certain \s-1DH_METHOD\s0
  194. implementations (e.g. from an \s-1ENGINE\s0 module that supports embedded
  195. hardware-protected keys), and in such cases attempting to change the \s-1DH_METHOD\s0
  196. for the key can have unexpected results.
  197. .PP
  198. \&\fBDH_new_method()\fR allocates and initializes a \s-1DH\s0 structure so that \fBengine\fR will
  199. be used for the \s-1DH\s0 operations. If \fBengine\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 the default \s-1ENGINE\s0 for \s-1DH\s0
  200. operations is used, and if no default \s-1ENGINE\s0 is set, the \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 controlled by
  201. \&\fBDH_set_default_method()\fR is used.
  202. .PP
  203. A new \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 object may be constructed using \fBDH_meth_new()\fR (see
  204. \&\fBDH_meth_new\fR\|(3)).
  205. .SH "RETURN VALUES"

  207. \&\fBDH_OpenSSL()\fR and \fBDH_get_default_method()\fR return pointers to the respective

  209. .PP
  210. \&\fBDH_set_default_method()\fR returns no value.
  211. .PP
  212. \&\fBDH_set_method()\fR returns nonzero if the provided \fBmeth\fR was successfully set as
  213. the method for \fBdh\fR (including unloading the \s-1ENGINE\s0 handle if the previous
  214. method was supplied by an \s-1ENGINE\s0).
  215. .PP
  216. \&\fBDH_new_method()\fR returns \s-1NULL\s0 and sets an error code that can be obtained by
  217. \&\fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3) if the allocation fails. Otherwise it
  218. returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
