The pseudo-random number generator must be +seeded prior to calling \fIDH_generate_parameters()\fR. +.PP +\&\fBprime_len\fR is the length in bits of the safe prime to be generated. +\&\fBgenerator\fR is a small number > 1, typically 2 or 5. +.PP +A callback function may be used to provide feedback about the progress +of the key generation. If \fBcallback\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR, it will be +called as described in BN_generate_prime(3) while a random prime +number is generated, and when a prime has been found, \fBcallback(3, +0, cb_arg)\fR is called. +.PP +\&\fIDH_check()\fR validates Diffie-Hellman parameters. It checks that \fBp\fR is +a safe prime, and that \fBg\fR is a suitable generator. In the case of an +error, the bit flags \s-1DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME\s0 or +\&\s-1DH_NOT_SUITABLE_GENERATOR\s0 are set in \fB*codes\fR. +\&\s-1DH_UNABLE_TO_CHECK_GENERATOR\s0 is set if the generator cannot be +checked, i.e. it does not equal 2 or 5. +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +.IX Header "RETURN VALUES" +\&\fIDH_generate_parameters()\fR returns a pointer to the \s-1DH\s0 structure, or +\&\s-1NULL\s0 if the parameter generation fails.
