33 * Revision 1.1 2000/02/12 18:21:02 mdw
34 * Overhaul of key management (again).
38 /*----- Header files ------------------------------------------------------*/
50 /*----- Main code ---------------------------------------------------------*/
54 * Arguments: @dh_param *dp@ = pointer to output parameter block
55 * @unsigned ql@ = length of %$q$% in bits, or zero
56 * @unsigned pl@ = length of %$p$% in bits
57 * @unsigned steps@ = number of steps to go
58 * @grand *r@ = random number source
59 * @pgen_proc *event@ = event handler function
60 * @void *ectx@ = argument for the event handler
62 * Returns: @PGEN_DONE@ if it worked, @PGEN_ABORT@ if it didn't.
64 * Use: Generates Diffie-Hellman parameters.
66 * The parameters are a prime %$q$%, relatively small, and a
67 * large prime %$p = kq + 1$% for some %$k$%, together with a
68 * generator %$g$% of the cyclic subgroup of order %$q$%. These
69 * are actually the same as the DSA parameter set, but the
70 * generation algorithm is different. Also, if @ql@ is zero,
71 * this algorithm forces %$k = 2$%, and chooses %$g = 4$%. Make
72 * sure you have something interesting to do if you choose this
