12 The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
13 hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
14 see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
16 int DH_bits(const DH *dh);
18 int DH_size(const DH *dh);
20 int DH_security_bits(const DH *dh);
24 The functions described on this page are deprecated.
25 Applications should instead use L<EVP_PKEY_get_bits(3)>,
26 L<EVP_PKEY_get_security_bits(3)> and L<EVP_PKEY_get_size(3)>.
28 DH_bits() returns the number of significant bits.
30 B<dh> and B<dh-E<gt>p> must not be B<NULL>.
32 DH_size() returns the Diffie-Hellman prime size in bytes. It can be used
33 to determine how much memory must be allocated for the shared secret
34 computed by L<DH_compute_key(3)>.
36 DH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given B<dh>
37 key. See L<BN_security_bits(3)>.
41 DH_bits() returns the number of bits in the key, or -1 if
42 B<dh> doesn't hold any key parameters.
44 DH_size() returns the prime size of Diffie-Hellman in bytes, or -1 if
45 B<dh> doesn't hold any key parameters.
47 DH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits, or -1 if
48 B<dh> doesn't hold any key parameters.
52 L<EVP_PKEY_get_bits(3)>,
53 L<DH_new(3)>, L<DH_generate_key(3)>,
58 All functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
