.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
A \fB\s-1DH_METHOD\s0\fR specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for Diffie-Hellman
operations. By modifying the method, alternative implementations
such as hardware accelerators may be used.
.PP
Initially, the default is to use the OpenSSL internal implementation.
\&\fIDH_OpenSSL()\fR returns a pointer to that method.
.PP
\&\fIDH_set_default_method()\fR makes \fBmeth\fR the default method for all \fB\s-1DH\s0\fR
structures created later.
.PP
\&\fIDH_get_default_method()\fR returns a pointer to the current default
method.
.PP
\&\fIDH_set_method()\fR selects \fBmeth\fR for all operations using the structure \fBdh\fR.
.PP
\&\fIDH_new_method()\fR allocates and initializes a \fB\s-1DH\s0\fR structure so that
\&\fBmethod\fR will be used for the \s-1DH\s0 operations. If \fBmethod\fR is \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR,
the default method is used.

\&\fIDH_OpenSSL()\fR and \fIDH_get_default_method()\fR return pointers to the respective
\&\fB\s-1DH_METHOD\s0\fRs.
.PP
\&\fIDH_set_default_method()\fR returns no value.
.PP
\&\fIDH_set_method()\fR returns a pointer to the \fB\s-1DH_METHOD\s0\fR previously
associated with \fBdh\fR.
.PP
\&\fIDH_new_method()\fR returns \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR and sets an error code that can be
obtained by ERR_get_error(3) if the allocation fails. Otherwise it
returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
