💖 gnutls_psk_set_server_dh_params — API function 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual (yes, that gnutls, the 3.8.13 era one, she's serving crypto realness). this page is literally all about gnutls_psk_set_server_dh_params, and it's a short one, so grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's go.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

void gnutls_psk_set_server_dh_params(gnutls_psk_server_credentials_t
res, gnutls_dh_params_t dh_params);

she's a void function, she takes two things, she returns nothing. lowkey iconic behaviour tbh 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • gnutls_psk_server_credentials_t res — bestie this one is a gnutls_psk_server_credentials_t type. that's the whole vibe.
  • gnutls_dh_params_t dh_params — and this one is a structure that holds Diffie-Hellman parameters. yes, the DH params, the whole point, no cap 🌸

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what does she actually do? this function will set the Diffie-Hellman parameters for an anonymous server to use. that's it, that's the job.

and those parameters? they get used in the Diffie-Hellman exchange with PSK cipher suites. so it's giving "here are my DH params, PSK suites, do ur thing" ✨

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

bestie. listen. this function is unnecessary and discouraged on GnuTLS 3.6.0 or later. i'm not being dramatic, that's literally what the page says.

the reason? since 3.6.0, DH parameters are negotiated following RFC7919. so like, the library handles it herself now. main character energy fr fr 👑
