Description

RFC 2409 standardizes global unique prime numbers and generators for the purpose of secure asymmetric key exchange on the Internet.

Usage

data(Oakley1)
data(Oakley2)

Value

Oakley1 returns an object of class bigz for a 768 bit Diffie-Hellman group. The generator is stored as value with the respective prime number as modulus attribute.

Oakley2 returns an object of class bigz for a 1024 bit Diffie-Hellman group. The generator is stored as value with the respective prime number as modulus attribute.
