DESCRIPTION
For all of the functions below that set the supported groups there must be at least one
group in the list. A number of these functions identify groups via a unique integer NID
value. However, support for some groups may be added by external providers. In this case
there will be no NID assigned for the group. When setting such groups applications should
use the "list" form of these functions (i.e. SSL_CTX_set1_groups_list() and
SSL_set1_groups_list).
SSL_CTX_set1_groups() sets the supported groups for ctx to glistlen groups in the array
glist. The array consist of all NIDs of groups in preference order. For a TLS client the
groups are used directly in the supported groups extension. For a TLS server the groups
are used to determine the set of shared groups. Currently supported groups for TLSv1.3 are
NID_X9_62_prime256v1, NID_secp384r1, NID_secp521r1, NID_X25519, NID_X448, NID_ffdhe2048,
NID_ffdhe3072, NID_ffdhe4096, NID_ffdhe6144 and NID_ffdhe8192.
SSL_CTX_set1_groups_list() sets the supported groups for ctx to string list. The string is
a colon separated list of group NIDs or names, for example
"P-521:P-384:P-256:X25519:ffdhe2048". Currently supported groups for TLSv1.3 are P-256,
P-384, P-521, X25519, X448, ffdhe2048, ffdhe3072, ffdhe4096, ffdhe6144, ffdhe8192. Support
for other groups may be added by external providers.
SSL_set1_groups() and SSL_set1_groups_list() are similar except they set supported groups
for the SSL structure ssl.
SSL_get1_groups() returns the set of supported groups sent by a client in the supported
groups extension. It returns the total number of supported groups. The groups parameter
can be NULL to simply return the number of groups for memory allocation purposes. The
groups array is in the form of a set of group NIDs in preference order. It can return zero
if the client did not send a supported groups extension. If a supported group NID is
unknown then the value is set to the bitwise OR of TLSEXT_nid_unknown (0x1000000) and the
id of the group.
SSL_get_shared_group() returns the NID of the shared group n for a server-side SSL ssl. If
n is -1 then the total number of shared groups is returned, which may be zero. Other than
for diagnostic purposes, most applications will only be interested in the first shared
group so n is normally set to zero. If the value n is out of range, NID_undef is returned.
If the NID for the shared group is unknown then the value is set to the bitwise OR of
TLSEXT_nid_unknown (0x1000000) and the id of the group.
SSL_get_negotiated_group() returns the NID of the negotiated group used for the handshake
key exchange process. For TLSv1.3 connections this typically reflects the state of the
current connection, though in the case of PSK-only resumption, the returned value will be
from a previous connection. For earlier TLS versions, when a session has been resumed, it
always reflects the group used for key exchange during the initial handshake (otherwise it
is from the current, non-resumption, connection). This can be called by either client or
server. If the NID for the shared group is unknown then the value is set to the bitwise OR
of TLSEXT_nid_unknown (0x1000000) and the id of the group.
All these functions are implemented as macros.
The curve functions are synonyms for the equivalently named group functions and are
identical in every respect. They exist because, prior to TLS1.3, there was only the
concept of supported curves. In TLS1.3 this was renamed to supported groups, and extended
to include Diffie Hellman groups. The group functions should be used in preference.
NOTES
If an application wishes to make use of several of these functions for configuration
purposes either on a command line or in a file it should consider using the SSL_CONF
interface instead of manually parsing options.
RETURN VALUES
SSL_CTX_set1_groups(), SSL_CTX_set1_groups_list(), SSL_set1_groups() and
SSL_set1_groups_list(), return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
SSL_get1_groups() returns the number of groups, which may be zero.
SSL_get_shared_group() returns the NID of shared group n or NID_undef if there is no
shared group n; or the total number of shared groups if n is -1.
When called on a client ssl, SSL_get_shared_group() has no meaning and returns -1.
SSL_get_negotiated_group() returns the NID of the negotiated group used for key exchange,
or NID_undef if there was no negotiated group.

The curve functions were added in OpenSSL 1.0.2. The equivalent group functions were added
in OpenSSL 1.1.1. The SSL_get_negotiated_group() function was added in OpenSSL 3.0.0.
