The pseudo-random number generator must be +seeded before calling it. +The parameters generated by \fBDH_generate_parameters_ex()\fR should not be used in +signature schemes. +.PP +\&\fBprime_len\fR is the length in bits of the safe prime to be generated. +\&\fBgenerator\fR is a small number > 1, typically 2 or 5. +.PP +A callback function may be used to provide feedback about the progress +of the key generation. If \fBcb\fR is not \fBNULL\fR, it will be +called as described in \fBBN_generate_prime\fR\|(3) while a random prime +number is generated, and when a prime has been found, \fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 3, 0)\fR +is called.
