The B<DSA> and B<DH> keytypes are implemented in OpenSSL's default and FIPS
providers.
The implementations support the basic DSA and DH keys, containing the public
-and private keys I<pub> and I<priv> as well as the three domain parameters
+and private keys I<pub> and I<priv> as well as the three main domain parameters
I<p>, I<q> and I<g>.
-=head2 Common DSA / DH parameters
+Finite field cryptography (FFC) is a method of implementing discrete logarithm
+cryptography using finite field mathematics. DSA is an example of FFC and
+Diffie-Hellman key establishment algorithms specified in SP800-56A can also be
+implemented as FFC.
+
+For B<DH> FFC key agreement, two classes of domain parameters can be used:
+"safe" domain parameters that are associated with approved named safe-prime
+groups, and a class of "FIPS 186-type" domain parameters. FIPS 186-type domain
+parameters should only be used for backward compatibility with existing
+applications that cannot be upgraded to use the approved safe-prime groups.
+
+For B<DSA> (and B<DH> that is not a named group) the FIPS186-4 standard
+specifies that the values used for FFC parameter generation are also required
+for parameter validation.
+This means that optional FFC domain parameter values for I<seed>, I<pcounter>
+and I<gindex> may need to be stored for validation purposes.
+For B<DH> the I<seed> and I<pcounter> can be stored in ASN1 data
+(but the I<gindex> is not). For B<DSA> however, these fields are not stored in
+the ASN1 data so they need to be stored externally if validation is required.
+
+=head2 Common DH parameters
+
+=over 4
+
+=item "group" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FFC_GROUP>) <UTF8 string>
+
+A string that associates a B<DH> named safe prime group with known values for
+I<p>, I<q> and I<g>.
+
+The following values can be used by the default and OpenSSL's FIPS providers:
+"ffdhe2048", "ffdhe3072", "ffdhe4096", "ffdhe6144", "ffdhe8192",
+"modp_2048", "modp_3072", "modp_4096", "modp_6144", "modp_8192".
+
+The following additional values can also be used by the default provider:
+"modp_1536", "dh_1024_160", "dh_2048_224", "dh_2048_256".
+
+DH named groups can be easily validated since the parameters are well known.
+For protocols that only transfer I<p> and I<g> the value of I<q> can also be
+retrieved.
+
+=item "safeprime-generator" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FFC_GENERATOR>) <integer>
+
+Used for DH generation of safe primes using the old generator code.
+It is recommended to use a named safe prime group instead, if domain parameter
+validation is required. The default value is 2.
+
+These are not named safe prime groups so setting this value for the OpenSSL FIPS
+provider will instead choose a named safe prime group based on the size of I<p>.

+
+=item "gindex" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FFC_GINDEX>) <integer>
+
+Sets the index to use for canonical generation and verification of the generator
+I<g>.
+Set this to a positive value from 0..FF to use this mode. This I<gindex> can
+then be reused during key validation to verify the value of I<g>. If this value
+is not set or is -1 then unverifiable generation of the generator I<g> will be
+used.
+
+=item "pcounter" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FFC_PCOUNTER>) <integer>
+
+An optional domain parameter I<counter> value that is output during generation
+of I<p>. This value must be saved if domain parameter validation is required.
+
+=item "hindex" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FFC_H>) <integer>
+
+For unverifiable generation of the generator I<g> this value is output during
+generation of I<g>. Its value is the first integer larger than one that
+satisfies g = h^j mod p (where g != 1 and "j" is the cofactor).
+
+=item "j" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FFC_COFACTOR>) <unsigned integer>
