Hello, I'm putting together a short step-by-step guide to using SSL with qmail and sslserver. sslserver requires a "dhparam" file generated by "openssl dhparam -out dhparam 1024"; I know how to generate it, but not exactly what it does. I'd like to include a brief explanation, and I was hoping somebody could tell me:
* What types of parameters does the dhparam file contain? For example is it a key, or a seed, or a configuration a la openssl.conf? Does it need to be kept secret? * Is it necessary to generate a unique dhparam for each server, or can they safely be shared? For example, since it takes a long time to generate one, could I generate one and post it on my Web site for users to download, or would that compromise/reduce their security? Thanks for any help! ---ScottG. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
