Of course, the second approach is a lot faster - however, can anyone explain the warning not from the documentation Be careful to avoid small subgroup attacks when using this. ? AFAIK, for such attacks to be effective, they require that the parameters are re-used multiple times. However, in

[openssl-users] Fast DH parameters generation

2015-06-16 Thread Massimiliano Pala
Hi all, I am working on an application that would use DH to allow exchanging symmetric keys (not a TLS app), and we noticed that we could use two different approaches to generate the parameters. The first option is to use the DH_generate_parameters_ex() + DH_generate_key() - but that takes
