NAME
gnutls_dh_set_prime_bits - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
void gnutls_dh_set_prime_bits(gnutls_session_t session, unsigned
int bits);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_session_t session
is a gnutls_session_t type.
unsigned int bits
is the number of bits
DESCRIPTION
This function sets the number of bits, for use in a
Diffie-Hellman key exchange. This is used both in DH ephemeral
and DH anonymous cipher suites. This will set the minimum size
of the prime that will be used for the handshake.
In the client side it sets the minimum accepted number of bits.
If a server sends a prime with less bits than that
GNUTLS_E_DH_PRIME_UNACCEPTABLE will be returned by the handshake.
Note that this function will warn via the audit log for value
that are believed to be weak.
The function has no effect in server side.
Note that since 3.1.7 this function is deprecated. The minimum
number of bits is set by the priority string level. Also this
function must be called after gnutls_priority_set_direct() or the
set value may be overridden by the selected priority options.
