Size of DH Params
Hi, when I generate DH parameters with: int bits = 1024; DH *params = DH_generate_parameters (bits, DH_GENERATOR_5, NULL, NULL); Can I then later read the value of the bits parameter from the DH struct? Thanks Dirk __ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing Listopenssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
