SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dh.h>
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can
be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable
version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):
DH_METHOD *DH_meth_new(const char *name, int flags);
void DH_meth_free(DH_METHOD *dhm);
DH_METHOD *DH_meth_dup(const DH_METHOD *dhm);
const char *DH_meth_get0_name(const DH_METHOD *dhm);
int DH_meth_set1_name(DH_METHOD *dhm, const char *name);
int DH_meth_get_flags(const DH_METHOD *dhm);
int DH_meth_set_flags(DH_METHOD *dhm, int flags);
void *DH_meth_get0_app_data(const DH_METHOD *dhm);
int DH_meth_set0_app_data(DH_METHOD *dhm, void *app_data);
int (*DH_meth_get_generate_key(const DH_METHOD *dhm))(DH *);
int DH_meth_set_generate_key(DH_METHOD *dhm, int (*generate_key)(DH *));
int (*DH_meth_get_compute_key(const DH_METHOD *dhm))
(unsigned char *key, const BIGNUM *pub_key, DH *dh);
int DH_meth_set_compute_key(DH_METHOD *dhm,
int (*compute_key)(unsigned char *key, const BIGNUM *pub_key, DH *dh));
int (*DH_meth_get_bn_mod_exp(const DH_METHOD *dhm))
(const DH *dh, BIGNUM *r, const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *p,
const BIGNUM *m, BN_CTX *ctx, BN_MONT_CTX *m_ctx);
int DH_meth_set_bn_mod_exp(DH_METHOD *dhm,
int (*bn_mod_exp)(const DH *dh, BIGNUM *r, const BIGNUM *a,
const BIGNUM *p, const BIGNUM *m, BN_CTX *ctx,
BN_MONT_CTX *m_ctx));
int (*DH_meth_get_init(const DH_METHOD *dhm))(DH *);
int DH_meth_set_init(DH_METHOD *dhm, int (*init)(DH *));
int (*DH_meth_get_finish(const DH_METHOD *dhm))(DH *);

int (*DH_meth_get_generate_params(const DH_METHOD *dhm))
(DH *, int, int, BN_GENCB *);
The DH_METHOD type is a structure used for the provision of custom DH
implementations. It provides a set of functions used by OpenSSL for the
implementation of the various DH capabilities.
DH_meth_new() creates a new DH_METHOD structure. It should be given a
unique name and a set of flags. The name should be a NULL terminated
string, which will be duplicated and stored in the DH_METHOD object. It
is the callers responsibility to free the original string. The flags
will be used during the construction of a new DH object based on this
DH_METHOD. Any new DH object will have those flags set by default.
DH_meth_dup() creates a duplicate copy of the DH_METHOD object passed
as a parameter. This might be useful for creating a new DH_METHOD based
on an existing one, but with some differences.
DH_meth_free() destroys a DH_METHOD structure and frees up any memory
associated with it.
DH_meth_get0_name() will return a pointer to the name of this
DH_METHOD. This is a pointer to the internal name string and so should
not be freed by the caller. DH_meth_set1_name() sets the name of the
DH_METHOD to name. The string is duplicated and the copy is stored in
the DH_METHOD structure, so the caller remains responsible for freeing
the memory associated with the name.
DH_meth_get_flags() returns the current value of the flags associated
with this DH_METHOD. DH_meth_set_flags() provides the ability to set
these flags.
The functions DH_meth_get0_app_data() and DH_meth_set0_app_data()
provide the ability to associate implementation specific data with the
DH_METHOD. It is the application's responsibility to free this data
before the DH_METHOD is freed via a call to DH_meth_free().
DH_meth_get_generate_key() and DH_meth_set_generate_key() get and set
the function used for generating a new DH key pair respectively. This
function will be called in response to the application calling
DH_generate_key(). The parameter for the function has the same meaning
as for DH_generate_key().
DH_meth_get_compute_key() and DH_meth_set_compute_key() get and set the
function used for computing a new DH shared secret respectively. This
function will be called in response to the application calling
DH_compute_key(). The parameters for the function have the same meaning
as for DH_compute_key().
DH_meth_get_bn_mod_exp() and DH_meth_set_bn_mod_exp() get and set the
function used for computing the following value:
r = a ^ p mod m
This function will be called by the default OpenSSL function for
DH_generate_key(). The result is stored in the r parameter. This
function may be NULL unless using the default generate key function, in
which case it must be present.
DH_meth_get_init() and DH_meth_set_init() get and set the function used
for creating a new DH instance respectively. This function will be
called in response to the application calling DH_new() (if the current
function will be called in response to the application calling
DH_free(). A pointer to the DH to be destroyed is passed as a
parameter. The destroy function should be used for DH implementation
specific clean up. The memory for the DH itself should not be freed by
this function. This function may be NULL.
DH_meth_get_generate_params() and DH_meth_set_generate_params() get and
set the function used for generating DH parameters respectively. This
function will be called in response to the application calling
DH_generate_parameters_ex() (or DH_generate_parameters()). The
parameters for the function have the same meaning as for
DH_generate_parameters_ex(). This function may be NULL.
RETURN VALUES
DH_meth_new() and DH_meth_dup() return the newly allocated DH_METHOD
object or NULL on failure.
DH_meth_get0_name() and DH_meth_get_flags() return the name and flags
associated with the DH_METHOD respectively.
All other DH_meth_get_*() functions return the appropriate function
pointer that has been set in the DH_METHOD, or NULL if no such pointer
has yet been set.
DH_meth_set1_name() and all DH_meth_set_*() functions return 1 on
success or 0 on failure.
