NAME        top

       gnutls_privkey_generate - API function

SYNOPSIS        top

#include <gnutls/abstract.h>int gnutls_privkey_generate(gnutls_privkey_tpkey,gnutls_pk_algorithm_talgo, unsigned intbits, unsigned intflags);

ARGUMENTS        top

       gnutls_privkey_t pkey                   An initialized private key       gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo                   is one of the algorithms ingnutls_pk_algorithm_t.       unsigned int bits                   the size of the parameters to generate       unsigned int flags                   Must be zero or flags fromgnutls_privkey_flags_t.

DESCRIPTION        top

       This function will generate a random private key. Note that this       function must be called on an initialized private key.       The flagGNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_PROVABLEinstructs the key generation       process to use algorithms like Shawe-Taylor (from FIPS PUB186-4)       which generate provable parameters out of a seed for RSA and DSA       keys. Seegnutls_privkey_generate2()for more information.       Note that when generating an elliptic curve key, the curve can be       substituted in the place of the bits parameter using theGNUTLS_CURVE_TO_BITS()macro. The input to the macro is any curve       fromgnutls_ecc_curve_t.       For DSA keys, if the subgroup size needs to be specified check theGNUTLS_SUBGROUP_TO_BITS()macro.       It is recommended to do not set the number ofbits directly, usegnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits()instead .       See alsognutls_privkey_generate2().

RETURNS        top

       On success,GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS(0) is returned, otherwise a negative       error value.

SINCE        top
