<p>If this option is used, DSA rather than DH parameters are read or created;
|
|
they are converted to DH format. Otherwise, "strong" primes (such
|
|
that (p-1)/2 is also prime) will be used for DH parameter generation.</p>
|
|
<p>DH parameter generation with the <strong>-dsaparam</strong> option is much faster,
|
|
and the recommended exponent length is shorter, which makes DH key
|
|
exchange more efficient. Beware that with such DSA-style DH
|
|
parameters, a fresh DH key should be created for each use to
|
|
avoid small-subgroup attacks that may be possible otherwise.</p>

<p>This option specifies that a parameter set should be generated of size
|
|
<em>numbits</em>. It must be the last option. If this option is present then
|
|
the input file is ignored and parameters are generated instead. If
|
|
this option is not present but a generator (<strong>-2</strong>, <strong>-3</strong> or <strong>-5</strong>) is
|
|
present, parameters are generated with a default length of 2048 bits.

The minimim length is 512 bits. The maximum length is 10000 bits.</p>
