gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits(3) gnutls gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits(3)
gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits - API function
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
unsigned int gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits(gnutls_pk_algorithm_t
algo, gnutls_sec_param_t param);
gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo
is a public key algorithm
gnutls_sec_param_t param
is a security parameter
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 human understandable security parameter
to an appropriate size for the specific algorithm.
The number of bits, or (0).
