.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
Applications should instead use \fBEVP_PKEY_derive_init\fR\|(3)
and \fBEVP_PKEY_derive\fR\|(3).
.PP
\&\fBDH_generate_key()\fR performs the first step of a Diffie-Hellman key
exchange by generating private and public DH values. By calling
\&\fBDH_compute_key()\fR or \fBDH_compute_key_padded()\fR, these are combined with
the other party's public value to compute the shared key.
.PP
\&\fBDH_generate_key()\fR expects \fBdh\fR to contain the shared parameters
\&\fBdh\->p\fR and \fBdh\->g\fR. It generates a random private DH value
unless \fBdh\->priv_key\fR is already set, and computes the
corresponding public value \fBdh\->pub_key\fR, which can then be
published.
.PP
\&\fBDH_compute_key()\fR computes the shared secret from the private DH value
in \fBdh\fR and the other party's public value in \fBpub_key\fR and stores
it in \fBkey\fR. \fBkey\fR must point to \fBDH_size(dh)\fR bytes of memory.
The padding style is RFC 5246 (8.1.2) that strips leading zero bytes.
It is not constant time due to the leading zero bytes being stripped.
The return value should be considered public.
.PP
\&\fBDH_compute_key_padded()\fR is similar but stores a fixed number of bytes.
The padding style is NIST SP 800\-56A (C.1) that retains leading zero bytes.
It is constant time due to the leading zero bytes being retained.
The return value should be considered public.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBDH_generate_key()\fR returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise.
.PP
\&\fBDH_compute_key()\fR returns the size of the shared secret on success, \-1
on error.
.PP
\&\fBDH_compute_key_padded()\fR returns \fBDH_size(dh)\fR on success, \-1 on error.
.PP
The error codes can be obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_derive\fR\|(3),
\&\fBDH_new\fR\|(3), \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3), \fBRAND_bytes\fR\|(3), \fBDH_size\fR\|(3)
.SH HISTORY
.IX Header "HISTORY"
\&\fBDH_compute_key_padded()\fR was added in OpenSSL 1.0.2.
.PP
All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
