gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits(3) gnutls gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits(3) NAME gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits - API function SYNOPSIS #include <gnutls/gnutls.h> unsigned int gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits(gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo, gnutls_sec_param_t param); ARGUMENTS gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo is a public key algorithm gnutls_sec_param_t param is a security parameter DESCRIPTION When generating private and public key pairs a difficult question is which size of "bits" the modulus will be in RSA and the group size in DSA. The easy answer is 1024, which is also wrong. This function will convert a hu- man understandable security parameter to an appropriate size for the spe- cific algorithm. RETURNS The number of bits, or (0). SINCE 2.12.0 REPORTING BUGS Report bugs to <bugs@gnutls.org>.
