OpenSSL::PKey::DH

An implementation of the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol based on discrete logarithms in finite fields, the same basis that DSA is built on.

Accessor methods for the Diffie-Hellman parameters

DH#p

The prime (an OpenSSL::BN) of the Diffie-Hellman parameters.

DH#g

The generator (an OpenSSL::BN) g of the Diffie-Hellman parameters.

DH#pub_key

The per-session public key (an OpenSSL::BN) matching the private key. This needs to be passed to DH#compute_key.

DH#priv_key

The per-session private key, an OpenSSL::BN.

Example of a key exchange

# you may send the parameters (der) and own public key (pub1) publicly
# to the participating party
dh1 = OpenSSL::PKey::DH.new(2048)
der = dh1.to_der
pub1 = dh1.pub_key

# the other party generates its per-session key pair
dhparams = OpenSSL::PKey::DH.new(der)
dh2 = OpenSSL::PKey.generate_key(dhparams)
pub2 = dh2.pub_key

symm_key1 = dh1.compute_key(pub2)
symm_key2 = dh2.compute_key(pub1)
puts symm_key1 == symm_key2 # => true

Public Class Methods

generate(size, generator = 2) → dh click to toggle source

Creates a new DH instance from scratch by generating random parameters and a key pair.

See also OpenSSL::PKey.generate_parameters and OpenSSL::PKey.generate_key.

size

The desired key size in bits.

generator

The generator.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/ext/openssl/lib/openssl/pkey.rb, line 118
def generate(size, generator = 2, &blk)
  dhparams = OpenSSL::PKey.generate_parameters("DH", {
    "dh_paramgen_prime_len" => size,
    "dh_paramgen_generator" => generator,
  }, &blk)
  OpenSSL::PKey.generate_key(dhparams)
end
            
new → dh click to toggle source
new(string) → dh
new(size [, generator]) → dh

Creates a new instance of OpenSSL::PKey::DH.

If called without arguments, an empty instance without any parameter or key components is created. Use set_pqg to manually set the parameters afterwards (and optionally set_key to set private and public key components).

If a String is given, tries to parse it as a DER- or PEM- encoded parameters. See also OpenSSL::PKey.read which can parse keys of any kinds.

The DH.new(size [, generator]) form is an alias of DH.generate.

string

A String that contains the DER or PEM encoded key.

size

See DH.generate.

generator

See DH.generate.

Examples:

# Creating an instance from scratch
# Note that this is deprecated and will not work on OpenSSL 3.0 or later.
dh = OpenSSL::PKey::DH.new
dh.set_pqg(bn_p, nil, bn_g)

# Generating a parameters and a key pair
dh = OpenSSL::PKey::DH.new(2048) # An alias of OpenSSL::PKey::DH.generate(2048)

# Reading DH parameters
dh_params = OpenSSL::PKey::DH.new(File.read('parameters.pem')) # loads parameters only
dh = OpenSSL::PKey.generate_key(dh_params) # generates a key pair

Public Instance Methods

compute_key(pub_bn) → string click to toggle source

Returns a String containing a shared secret computed from the other party's public value.

This method is provided for backwards compatibility, and calls derive internally.

Parameters

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/ext/openssl/lib/openssl/pkey.rb, line 49
def compute_key(pub_bn)
  # FIXME: This is constructing an X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo and is very
  # inefficient
  obj = OpenSSL::ASN1.Sequence([
    OpenSSL::ASN1.Sequence([
      OpenSSL::ASN1.ObjectId("dhKeyAgreement"),
      OpenSSL::ASN1.Sequence([
        OpenSSL::ASN1.Integer(p),
        OpenSSL::ASN1.Integer(g),
      ]),
    ]),
    OpenSSL::ASN1.BitString(OpenSSL::ASN1.Integer(pub_bn).to_der),
  ])
  derive(OpenSSL::PKey.read(obj.to_der))
end
            
export → aString click to toggle source
to_pem → aString
to_s → aString

Encodes this DH to its PEM encoding. Note that any existing per-session public/private keys will not get encoded, just the Diffie-Hellman parameters will be encoded.

 
               static VALUE
ossl_dh_export(VALUE self)
{
    DH *dh;
    BIO *out;
    VALUE str;

    GetDH(self, dh);
    if (!(out = BIO_new(BIO_s_mem()))) {
        ossl_raise(eDHError, NULL);
    }
    if (!PEM_write_bio_DHparams(out, dh)) {
        BIO_free(out);
        ossl_raise(eDHError, NULL);
    }

    return str;
}
            
Also aliased as: to_pem, to_s
generate_key! → self click to toggle source

Generates a private and public key unless a private key already exists. If this DH instance was generated from public DH parameters (e.g. by encoding the result of DH#public_key), then this method needs to be called first in order to generate the per-session keys before performing the actual key exchange.

Deprecated in version 3.0. This method is incompatible with OpenSSL 3.0.0 or later.

See also OpenSSL::PKey.generate_key.

Example:

# DEPRECATED USAGE: This will not work on OpenSSL 3.0 or later
dh0 = OpenSSL::PKey::DH.new(2048)
dh = dh0.public_key # #public_key only copies the DH parameters (contrary to the name)
dh.generate_key!
puts dh.private? # => true
puts dh0.pub_key == dh.pub_key #=> false

# With OpenSSL::PKey.generate_key
dh0 = OpenSSL::PKey::DH.new(2048)
dh = OpenSSL::PKey.generate_key(dh0)
puts dh0.pub_key == dh.pub_key #=> false
 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/ext/openssl/lib/openssl/pkey.rb, line 91
def generate_key!

    raise DHError, "OpenSSL::PKey::DH is immutable on OpenSSL 3.0; " \
    "use OpenSSL::PKey.generate_key instead"

Indicates whether this DH instance has a public key associated with it or not. The public key may be retrieved with DH#pub_key.

 
               static VALUE

}
            
public_key → dhnew click to toggle source

Returns a new DH instance that carries just the DH parameters.

Contrary to the method name, the returned DH object contains only parameters and not the public key.

This method is provided for backwards compatibility. In most cases, there is no need to call this method.

For the purpose of re-generating the key pair while keeping the parameters, check OpenSSL::PKey.generate_key.

Example:

# OpenSSL::PKey::DH.generate by default generates a random key pair
dh1 = OpenSSL::PKey::DH.generate(2048)
p dh1.priv_key #=> #<OpenSSL::BN 1288347...>
dhcopy = dh1.public_key
p dhcopy.priv_key #=> nil
 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/ext/openssl/lib/openssl/pkey.rb, line 33
def public_key
  DH.new(to_der)
end
            
set_key(pub_key, priv_key) → self click to toggle source

Sets pub_key and priv_key for the DH instance. priv_key may be nil.

set_pqg(p, q, g) → self click to toggle source

Sets p, q, g to the DH instance.

to_der → aString click to toggle source

Encodes this DH to its DER encoding. Note that any existing per-session public/private keys will not get encoded, just the Diffie-Hellman parameters will be encoded.
