41=head1 DESCRIPTION
42
43These functions implement the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol.
44The generation of shared DH parameters is described in
45L<DH_generate_parameters(3)|DH_generate_parameters(3)>; L<DH_generate_key(3)|DH_generate_key(3)> describes how
46to perform a key agreement.
47
48The B<DH> structure consists of several BIGNUM components.
49
50 struct
51 {
52 BIGNUM *p; // prime number (shared)
53 BIGNUM *g; // generator of Z_p (shared)
54 BIGNUM *priv_key; // private DH value x
55 BIGNUM *pub_key; // public DH value g^x
56 // ...
57 };
58 DH
59
60Note that DH keys may use non-standard B<DH_METHOD> implementations,
61either directly or by the use of B<ENGINE> modules. In some cases (eg. an
62ENGINE providing support for hardware-embedded keys), these BIGNUM values
63will not be used by the implementation or may be used for alternative data
64storage. For this reason, applications should generally avoid using DH
65structure elements directly and instead use API functions to query or
66modify keys.
