# gnutls\_rsa\_params\_generate2(3)

API function

## NAME

gnutls\_rsa\_params\_generate2 - API function

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<gnutls/compat.h\>**

**int gnutls\_rsa\_params\_generate2(gnutls\_rsa\_params\_t** *params***, unsigned int** *bits***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- gnutls\_rsa\_params\_t params

  The structure where the parameters will be stored

- unsigned int bits

  is the prime's number of bits

## DESCRIPTION

This function will generate new temporary RSA parameters for use in RSA-EXPORT ciphersuites.  This function is normally slow.

Note that if the parameters are to be used in export cipher suites the bits value should be 512 or less. Also note that the generation of new RSA parameters is only useful to servers. Clients use the parameters sent by the server, thus it's no use calling this in client side.

## RETURNS

**GNUTLS\_E\_SUCCESS** on success, or an negative error code.
