Name

gnutls_dh_get_prime_bits — return the bits used in D-H key exchange

Synopsis

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int gnutls_dh_get_prime_bits( gnutls_session_t session);
 

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_session_t session

is a gnutls session

DESCRIPTION

This function will return the bits of the prime used in the last Diffie−Hellman key exchange with the peer. Should be used for both anonymous and ephemeral Diffie−Hellman. Note that some ciphers, like RSA and DSA without DHE, does not use a Diffie−Hellman key exchange, and then this function will return 0.

RETURNS

The Diffie−Hellman bit strength is returned, or 0 if no Diffie−Hellman key exchange was done, or a negative error code on failure.
