The returned number is probably prime with a negligible error. If \fBadd\fR is \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR the returned prime number will have exact bit length \fBbits\fR with the top most two bits set. .PP If \fBret\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR, it will be used to store the number. .PP If \fBcb\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR, it is used as follows: .IP "\(bu" 2 \&\fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 0, i)\fR is called after generating the i\-th potential prime number. .IP "\(bu" 2 While the number is being tested for primality, \&\fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 1, j)\fR is called as described below. .IP "\(bu" 2 When a prime has been found, \fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 2, i)\fR is called. .IP "\(bu" 2 The callers of \fIBN_generate_prime_ex()\fR may call \fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, i, j)\fR with other values as described in their respective man pages; see \*(L"\s-1SEE ALSO\*(R"\s0. .PP The prime may have to fulfill additional requirements for use in Diffie-Hellman key exchange: .PP If \fBadd\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR, the prime will fulfill the condition p % \fBadd\fR == \fBrem\fR (p % \fBadd\fR == 1 if \fBrem\fR == \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR) in order to suit a given generator. .PP If \fBsafe\fR is true, it will be a safe prime (i.e. a prime p so that (p\-1)/2 is also prime). If \fBsafe\fR is true, and \fBrem\fR == \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR the condition will be p % \fBadd\fR == 3. It is recommended that \fBadd\fR is a multiple of 4. .PP The random generator must be seeded prior to calling \fIBN_generate_prime_ex()\fR. If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL \s-1CSPRNG\s0 fails due to external circumstances (see \s-1\fIRAND\s0\fR\|(7)), the operation will fail. .PP \&\fIBN_is_prime_ex()\fR and \fIBN_is_prime_fasttest_ex()\fR test if the number \fBp\fR is prime. The following tests are performed until one of them shows that \&\fBp\fR is composite; if \fBp\fR passes all these tests, it is considered prime. .PP \&\fIBN_is_prime_fasttest_ex()\fR, when called with \fBdo_trial_division == 1\fR, first attempts trial division by a number of small primes; if no divisors are found by this test and \fBcb\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR, \&\fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 1, \-1)\fR is called. If \fBdo_trial_division == 0\fR, this test is skipped. .PP Both \fIBN_is_prime_ex()\fR and \fIBN_is_prime_fasttest_ex()\fR perform a Miller-Rabin probabilistic primality test with \fBnchecks\fR iterations. If \&\fBnchecks == BN_prime_checks\fR, a number of iterations is used that yields a false positive rate of at most 2^\-64 for random input. The error rate depends on the size of the prime and goes down for bigger primes. The rate is 2^\-80 starting at 308 bits, 2^\-112 at 852 bits, 2^\-128 at 1080 bits, 2^\-192 at 3747 bits and 2^\-256 at 6394 bits. .PP When the source of the prime is not random or not trusted, the number of checks needs to be much higher to reach the same level of assurance: It should equal half of the targeted security level in bits (rounded up to the next integer if necessary). For instance, to reach the 128 bit security level, \fBnchecks\fR should be set to 64. .PP If \fBcb\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR, \fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 1, j)\fR is called after the j\-th iteration (j = 0, 1, ...). \fBctx\fR is a preallocated \fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0\fR (to save the overhead of allocating and freeing the structure in a loop), or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR. .PP \&\fIBN_GENCB_call()\fR calls the callback function held in the \fB\s-1BN_GENCB\s0\fR structure and passes the ints \fBa\fR and \fBb\fR as arguments. There are two types of \&\fB\s-1BN_GENCB\s0\fR structure that are supported: \*(L"new\*(R" style and \*(L"old\*(R" style. New programs should prefer the \*(L"new\*(R" style, whilst the \*(L"old\*(R" style is provided for backwards compatibility purposes. .PP A \fB\s-1BN_GENCB\s0\fR structure should be created through a call to \fIBN_GENCB_new()\fR, and freed through a call to \fIBN_GENCB_free()\fR. .PP For \*(L"new\*(R" style callbacks a \s-1BN_GENCB\s0 structure should be initialised with a call to \fIBN_GENCB_set()\fR, where \fBgencb\fR is a \fB\s-1BN_GENCB\s0 *\fR, \fBcallback\fR is of type \fBint (*callback)(int, int, \s-1BN_GENCB\s0 *)\fR and \fBcb_arg\fR is a \fBvoid *\fR. \&\*(L"Old\*(R" style callbacks are the same except they are initialised with a call to \fIBN_GENCB_set_old()\fR and \fBcallback\fR is of type \&\fBvoid (*callback)(int, int, void *)\fR. .PP A callback is invoked through a call to \fBBN_GENCB_call\fR. This will check the type of the callback and will invoke \fBcallback(a, b, gencb)\fR for new style callbacks or \fBcallback(a, b, cb_arg)\fR for old style. .PP It is possible to obtain the argument associated with a \s-1BN_GENCB\s0 structure (set via a call to BN_GENCB_set or BN_GENCB_set_old) using BN_GENCB_get_arg. .PP \&\fIBN_generate_prime()\fR (deprecated) works in the same way as \&\fIBN_generate_prime_ex()\fR but expects an old-style callback function directly in the \fBcallback\fR parameter, and an argument to pass to it in the \fBcb_arg\fR. \fIBN_is_prime()\fR and \fIBN_is_prime_fasttest()\fR can similarly be compared to \fIBN_is_prime_ex()\fR and \&\fIBN_is_prime_fasttest_ex()\fR, respectively. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fIBN_generate_prime_ex()\fR return 1 on success or 0 on error. .PP \&\fIBN_is_prime_ex()\fR, \fIBN_is_prime_fasttest_ex()\fR, \fIBN_is_prime()\fR and \&\fIBN_is_prime_fasttest()\fR return 0 if the number is composite, 1 if it is prime with an error probability of less than 0.25^\fBnchecks\fR, and \&\-1 on error. .PP \&\fIBN_generate_prime()\fR returns the prime number on success, \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR otherwise. .PP BN_GENCB_new returns a pointer to a \s-1BN_GENCB\s0 structure on success, or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR otherwise. .PP BN_GENCB_get_arg returns the argument previously associated with a \s-1BN_GENCB\s0 structure. .PP Callback functions should return 1 on success or 0 on error. .PP The error codes can be obtained by \fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3). .SH "REMOVED FUNCTIONALITY" .IX Header "REMOVED FUNCTIONALITY" As of OpenSSL 1.1.0 it is no longer possible to create a \s-1BN_GENCB\s0 structure directly, as in: .PP .Vb 1 \& BN_GENCB callback; .Ve .PP Instead applications should create a \s-1BN_GENCB\s0 structure using BN_GENCB_new: .PP .Vb 6 \& BN_GENCB *callback; \& callback = BN_GENCB_new(); \& if (!callback) \& /* error */ \& ... \& BN_GENCB_free(callback); .Ve .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fIDH_generate_parameters\fR\|(3), \fIDSA_generate_parameters\fR\|(3), \&\fIRSA_generate_key\fR\|(3), \fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3), \fIRAND_bytes\fR\|(3), \&\s-1\fIRAND\s0\fR\|(7) .SH "HISTORY" .IX Header "HISTORY" The \fIBN_GENCB_new()\fR, \fIBN_GENCB_free()\fR, and \fIBN_GENCB_get_arg()\fR functions were added in OpenSSL 1.1.0. .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2000\-2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
