17 * DOC: DH Helper Functions
19 * To use DH with the KPP cipher API, the following data structure and
20 * functions should be used.
22 * To use DH with KPP, the following functions should be used to operate on
23 * a DH private key. The packet private key that can be set with
24 * the KPP API function call of crypto_kpp_set_secret.
28 * struct dh - define a DH private key
30 * @key: Private DH key
31 * @p: Diffie-Hellman parameter P
32 * @q: Diffie-Hellman parameter Q
33 * @g: Diffie-Hellman generator G
34 * @key_size: Size of the private DH key
35 * @p_size: Size of DH parameter P
36 * @q_size: Size of DH parameter Q
37 * @g_size: Size of DH generator G
44 unsigned int key_size
;
51 * crypto_dh_key_len() - Obtain the size of the private DH key
52 * @params: private DH key
54 * This function returns the packet DH key size. A caller can use that
55 * with the provided DH private key reference to obtain the required
56 * memory size to hold a packet key.
58 * Return: size of the key in bytes
60 unsigned int crypto_dh_key_len(const struct dh
*params
);
63 * crypto_dh_encode_key() - encode the private key
64 * @buf: Buffer allocated by the caller to hold the packet DH
65 * private key. The buffer should be at least crypto_dh_key_len
67 * @len: Length of the packet private key buffer
68 * @params: Buffer with the caller-specified private key
70 * The DH implementations operate on a packet representation of the private
73 * Return: -EINVAL if buffer has insufficient size, 0 on success
75 int crypto_dh_encode_key(char *buf
, unsigned int len
, const struct dh
*params
);
78 * crypto_dh_decode_key() - decode a private key
79 * @buf: Buffer holding a packet key that should be decoded
80 * @len: Length of the packet private key buffer
81 * @params: Buffer allocated by the caller that is filled with the
82 * unpacked DH private key.
84 * The unpacking obtains the private key by pointing @p to the correct location
85 * in @buf. Thus, both pointers refer to the same memory.
87 * Return: -EINVAL if buffer has insufficient size, 0 on success
89 int crypto_dh_decode_key(const char *buf
, unsigned int len
, struct dh
*params
);
