=head1 NAME
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BN_security_bits - returns bits of security based on given numbers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#include <openssl/bn.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
int BN_security_bits(int L, int N);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BN_security_bits() returns the number of bits of security provided by a
|
||
|
|
specific algorithm and a particular key size. The bits of security is
|
||
|
|
defined in NIST SP800-57. Currently, BN_security_bits() support two types
|
||
|
|
of asymmetric algorithms: the FFC (Finite Field Cryptography) and IFC
|
||
|
|
(Integer Factorization Cryptography). For FFC, e.g., DSA and DH, both
|
||
|
|
parameters B<L> and B<N> are used to decide the bits of security, where
|
||
|
|
B<L> is the size of the public key and B<N> is the size of the private
|
||
|
|
key. For IFC, e.g., RSA, only B<L> is used and it's commonly considered
|
||
|
|
to be the key size (modulus).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Number of security bits.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) is not covered by the BN_security_bits()
|
||
|
|
function. The symmetric algorithms are not covered neither.
