In these +cases, the session data is negotiated using the ephemeral/temporary DH key and +the key supplied and certified by the certificate chain is only used for +signing. Anonymous ciphers (without a permanent server key) also use ephemeral +DH keys. +.PP +Using ephemeral DH key exchange yields forward secrecy as the connection +can only be decrypted when the DH key is known. By generating a temporary +DH key inside the server application that is lost when the application +is left, it becomes impossible for an attacker to decrypt past sessions, +even if they get hold of the normal (certified) key, as this key was +only used for signing. +.PP +In order to perform a DH key exchange the server must use a DH group +(DH parameters) and generate a DH key. The server will always generate +a new DH key during the negotiation. +.PP +As generating DH parameters is extremely time consuming, an application +should not generate the parameters on the fly. DH parameters can be reused, as +the actual key is newly generated during the negotiation. +.PP +Typically applications should use well known DH parameters that have built\-in +support in OpenSSL. The macros \fBSSL_CTX_set_dh_auto()\fR and \fBSSL_set_dh_auto()\fR +configure OpenSSL to use the default built\-in DH parameters for the \fBSSL_CTX\fR +and \fBSSL\fR objects respectively. Passing a value of 2 or 1 in the \fIonoff\fR +parameter switches it on. If the \fIonoff\fR parameter is set to 2, it will force +the DH key size to 1024 if the \fBSSL_CTX\fR or \fBSSL\fR security level +\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_security_level\fR\|(3) is 0 or 1. Passing a value of 0 switches +it off. The default setting is off. +.PP +If "auto" DH parameters are switched on then the parameters will be selected to +be consistent with the size of the key associated with the server\*(Aqs certificate. +If there is no certificate (e.g. for PSK ciphersuites), then it it will be +consistent with the size of the negotiated symmetric cipher key. +.PP +Applications may supply their own DH parameters instead of using the built\-in +values. This approach is discouraged and applications should in preference use +the built\-in parameter support described above. Applications wishing to supply +their own DH parameters should call \fBSSL_CTX_set0_tmp_dh_pkey()\fR or +\&\fBSSL_set0_tmp_dh_pkey()\fR to supply the parameters for the \fBSSL_CTX\fR or \fBSSL\fR +respectively. The parameters should be supplied in the \fIdhpkey\fR argument as +an \fBEVP_PKEY\fR containing DH parameters. Ownership of the \fIdhpkey\fR value is +passed to the \fBSSL_CTX\fR or \fBSSL\fR object as a result of this call, and so the +caller should not free it if the function call is successful. +.PP +The deprecated macros \fBSSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh()\fR and \fBSSL_set_tmp_dh()\fR do the same +thing as \fBSSL_CTX_set0_tmp_dh_pkey()\fR and \fBSSL_set0_tmp_dh_pkey()\fR except that the +DH parameters are supplied in a \fBDH\fR object instead in the \fIdh\fR argument, and +ownership of the \fBDH\fR object is retained by the application. Applications +should use "auto" parameters instead, or call \fBSSL_CTX_set0_tmp_dh_pkey()\fR or +\&\fBSSL_set0_tmp_dh_pkey()\fR as appropriate. +.PP +An application may instead specify the DH parameters via a callback function +using the functions \fBSSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback()\fR or \fBSSL_set_tmp_dh_callback()\fR +to set the callback for the \fBSSL_CTX\fR or \fBSSL\fR object respectively. These +functions are deprecated. Applications should instead use "auto" parameters, or +specify the parameters via \fBSSL_CTX_set0_tmp_dh_pkey()\fR or \fBSSL_set0_tmp_dh_pkey()\fR +as appropriate. +.PP +The callback will be invoked during a connection when DH parameters are +required. The \fBSSL\fR object for the current connection is supplied as an +argument. Previous versions of OpenSSL used the \fBis_export\fR and \fBkeylength\fR +arguments to control parameter generation for export and non\-export +cipher suites. Modern OpenSSL does not support export ciphersuites and so these +arguments are unused and can be ignored by the callback. The callback should +return the parameters to be used in a DH object. Ownership of the DH object is +retained by the application and should later be freed. +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +.IX Header "RETURN VALUES" +All of these functions/macros return 1 for success or 0 on error. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IX Header "SEE ALSO" +\&\fBssl\fR\|(7), \fBSSL_CTX_set_cipher_list\fR\|(3), +\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_options\fR\|(3), +\&\fBopenssl\-ciphers\fR\|(1), \fBopenssl\-dhparam\fR\|(1) +.SH COPYRIGHT +.IX Header "COPYRIGHT" +Copyright 2001\-2025 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
