170 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
171 These functions implement the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol.
172 The generation of shared \s-1DH\s0 parameters is described in
173 \&\fIDH_generate_parameters\fR\|(3); \fIDH_generate_key\fR\|(3) describes how
174 to perform a key agreement.
176 The \fB\s-1DH\s0\fR structure consists of several \s-1BIGNUM\s0 components.
181 \& BIGNUM *p; // prime number (shared)
182 \& BIGNUM *g; // generator of Z_p (shared)
183 \& BIGNUM *priv_key; // private DH value x
184 \& BIGNUM *pub_key; // public DH value g^x
190 Note that \s-1DH\s0 keys may use non-standard \fB\s-1DH_METHOD\s0\fR implementations,
191 either directly or by the use of \fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fR modules. In some cases (eg. an
192 \&\s-1ENGINE\s0 providing support for hardware-embedded keys), these \s-1BIGNUM\s0 values
193 will not be used by the implementation or may be used for alternative data
194 storage. For this reason, applications should generally avoid using \s-1DH\s0
195 structure elements directly and instead use \s-1API\s0 functions to query or
