✨ GNUTLS_ANON_SET_SERVER_KNOWN_DH_PARAMS ✨

okay bestie so this one lives in the gnutls manual, section 3, and it's a whole API function 💖 and yes the name is a mouthful, we're gonna get through it together.

💅 NAME 💅

gnutls_anon_set_server_known_dh_params — literally just an API function, that's the whole vibe 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int
gnutls_anon_set_server_known_dh_params(gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t
res, gnutls_sec_param_t sec_param);

like. look at her. so demure. so mindful 🦋

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t res — bestie this is a gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t type. that's it, that's the whole description, no notes 💜
  • gnutls_sec_param_t sec_param — and this one? it's an option from the gnutls_sec_param_t enumeration ✨ (iykyk)

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does she actually do? this function sets the Diffie-Hellman parameters for an anonymous server to use. 💅

those parameters get used in Anonymous Diffie-Hellman cipher suites, and they'll be selected from the FFDHE set of RFC7919 according to the security level you provide. iconic behavior honestly 🌈

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

not me having to tell you this but — this function is unnecessary and discouraged on GnuTLS 3.6.0 or later. 😭

since 3.6.0, DH parameters are negotiated following RFC7919. so like, she served her time, she's retired now, respect the icon 👑

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

  • on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned 🎉
  • otherwise, you get a negative error value 💀

🧚 SINCE 🧚

3.5.6 — she's been around a minute, okay? vintage ✨
