NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       DSA_dup_DH - create a DH structure out of DSA structure

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

        #include <openssl/dsa.h>

        DH * DSA_dup_DH(const DSA *r);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       DSA_dup_DH() duplicates DSA parameters/keys as DH parameters/keys.
 q is lost during that conversion, but the
       resulting DH parameters contain its length.

RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]

       DSA_dup_DH() returns the new DH structure, and NULL on
       error. The error codes can be obtained by
       ERR_get_error(3).

NOTE    [Toc]    [Back]

       Be careful to avoid small subgroup attacks when using
       this.
