Hi Matt,
Thanks for the code sample. we understood the end to end flow to generate the DH key.
I wanted to understand one more aspect here, In our application we were obtaining two keys (pub_key/
priv_key) from the DH_generate_key() with single values of dh->p/
dh->g.
But now in 3.0 equivalent, I guess we can get only one key from the p/g params right ? how to get equivalent pub_key / priv_key ? please suggest.
Regards,
Sunil

The reference to EVP_PKEY_derive_init/EVP_PKEY_derive is a bit
misleading, because those are replacements for DH_compute_key() not
DH_generate_key().
The equivalents for DH_generate_key() are EVP_PKEY_keygen_init() and
EVP_PKEY_gen().

How do you set up the DH parameters? Do you load them from a file or
generate them in your application? Or some other way? Will it break your
application if you swap to using different parameters, or must you
retain support for the old ones?
The first step is to create an EVP_PKEY object containing the DH
parameters. How to do that depends on the answers to the above questions.

As noted by Daniel in this response to your question there are examples
on the EVP_PKEY-DH manual page.
https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man7/EVP_PKEY-DH.html
Assuming you have set up the parameters in an EVP_PKEY object
(param_key) then this is the relevant example:
EVP_PKEY *key = NULL;
EVP_PKEY_CTX *gctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(NULL, param_key, NULL);
EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(gctx);
EVP_PKEY_gen(gctx, &key);
EVP_PKEY_print_private(bio_out, key, 0, NULL);
...
EVP_PKEY_free(key);
EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(gctx);
This gives you a generated DH key in the "key" object.

The solution was to choice a EVP by signing the certificate
i = X509_sign(x, CApkey, EVP_sha256());

I do not really think this was the problem. In the code below you do
not set the notBefore time which is actually indicated by the parsing
errors when you try to load the invalid certificate.

Sunil emailed me directly (off list) and provided some code samples.
So you have some fixed "p" and "g" parameter values defined as static
unsigned char arrays, which you are currently converting to BIGNUMs
using "BN_bin2bn", and then assigning to "dh->p" and "dh->g" respectively.
The "g" value is just "2", so in the 3.0 equivalent you don't need to
convert that to a BIGNUM first. Some equivalent code to construct a DH
params object (called "param_key" in the code below) is:
EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "DH", NULL);
OSSL_PARAM_BLD *tmpl = NULL;
OSSL_PARAM *params = NULL;
EVP_PKEY *param_key = NULL;
if (pctx == NULL || !EVP_PKEY_key_fromdata_init(pctx))
goto err;
if ((tmpl = OSSL_PARAM_BLD_new()) == NULL
|| !OSSL_PARAM_BLD_push_BN(tmpl, OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FFC_P, p)
|| !OSSL_PARAM_BLD_push_uint(tmpl, OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FFC_G, 2))
goto err;
params = OSSL_PARAM_BLD_to_param(tmpl);
if (params == NULL || !EVP_PKEY_fromdata(pctx, ¶m_key, params))
goto err;
err:
EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(pctx);
OSSL_PARAM_BLD_free_params(params);
OSSL_PARAM_BLD_free(tmpl);
You can then generate the key using the code sample I gave in my
previous email:
EVP_PKEY *key = NULL;
EVP_PKEY_CTX *gctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(NULL, param_key, NULL);
EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(gctx);
EVP_PKEY_gen(gctx, &key);
EVP_PKEY_print_private(bio_out, key, 0, NULL);
...
EVP_PKEY_free(key);
EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(gctx);
Hope that helps,
Matt
