only used for signing.
In order to perform a DH key exchange the server must use a DH group
-(DH parameters) and generate a DH key.
-The server will always generate a new DH key during the negotiation
-if either the DH parameters are supplied via callback or the
-SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option of SSL_CTX_set_options(3) is set (or both).
-It will immediately create a DH key if DH parameters are supplied via
-SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh() and SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE is not set.
-In this case,
-it may happen that a key is generated on initialization without later
-being needed, while on the other hand the computer time during the
-negotiation is being saved.
-
-If "strong" primes were used to generate the DH parameters, it is not strictly
-necessary to generate a new key for each handshake but it does improve forward
-secrecy. If it is not assured that "strong" primes were used,
-SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE must be used in order to prevent small subgroup
-attacks. Always using SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE has an impact on the
-computer time needed during negotiation, but it is not very large, so
-application authors/users should consider always enabling this option.
-The option is required to implement perfect forward secrecy (PFS).
+(DH parameters) and generate a DH key. The server will always generate
+a new DH key during the negotiation.
As generating DH parameters is extremely time consuming, an application
should not generate the parameters on the fly but supply the parameters.
Previous versions of the callback used B<is_export> and B<keylength>
parameters to control parameter generation for export and non-export
cipher suites. Modern servers that do not support export ciphersuites
-are advised to either use SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh() in combination with
-SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE, or alternatively, use the callback but ignore
-B<keylength> and B<is_export> and simply supply at least 2048-bit
-parameters in the callback.
