The OpenSSL claims that these parameters are not mandatory and just speed up calculations. But in reality, if they are missing, we can not export this key into PEM files or if we export them, they are not readable/valid. This was discussed in the following OpenSSL issue even with some proposed fix, but it will take time before this will be implemented so in the meantime, we back down to calculating the parameters manually as done in OpenSSH. https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/21826 Signed-off-by: Jakub Jelen <jjelen@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Andreas Schneider <asn@cryptomilk.org>

The SSH library
Why?
Why not ? :) I've began to work on my own implementation of the ssh protocol because i didn't like the currently public ones. Not any allowed you to import and use the functions as a powerful library, and so i worked on a library-based SSH implementation which was non-existing in the free and open source software world.
How/Who?
If you downloaded this file, you must know what it is : a library for accessing ssh client services through C libraries calls in a simple manner. Everybody can use this software under the terms of the LGPL - see the COPYING file
If you ask yourself how to compile libssh, please read INSTALL before anything.
