NAME

       gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       unsigned  int  gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits(gnutls_pk_algorithm_t  algo, gnutls_sec_param_t
       param);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo
                   is a public key algorithm

       gnutls_sec_param_t param
                   is a security parameter

DESCRIPTION

       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.

RETURNS

       The number of bits, or (0).

SINCE

       2.12.0
