Method: OpenSSL::PKey::DH#export

Defined in:
ossl_pkey_dh.c

#export ⇒ aString #to_pem ⇒ aString #to_s ⇒ aString Also known as: to_pem, to_s

Serializes the DH parameters to a PEM-encoding.

Note that any existing per-session public/private keys will not get encoded, just the Diffie-Hellman parameters will be encoded.

PEM-encoded parameters will look like:

-----BEGIN DH PARAMETERS-----
[...]
-----END DH PARAMETERS-----

See also #public_to_pem (X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo) and #private_to_pem (PKCS #8 PrivateKeyInfo or EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo) for serialization with the private or public key components.

Overloads:

  • #export ⇒ aString

    Returns:

    • (aString)
  • #to_pem ⇒ aString

    Returns:

    • (aString)
  • #to_s ⇒ aString

    Returns:

    • (aString)
