DSA_dup_DH(3)                OpenSSL                DSA_dup_DH(3)



NAME

       DSA_dup_DH - create a DH structure out of DSA structure


LIBRARY

       libcrypto, -lcrypto


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/dsa.h>

        DH * DSA_dup_DH(DSA *r);



DESCRIPTION

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


RETURN VALUE

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


NOTE

       Be careful to avoid small subgroup attacks when using
       this.
