OpenSSL::PKey::DH#to_s

() -> ::String
dh.to_s → aString

Alias of #export

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.

See also #export #to_pem #to_der also in 4.1 · 3.4 · 3.3 · 3.2 · 3.1 · 3.0
