moduli
MODULI(5) BSD File Formats Manual MODULI(5)
NAME
moduli -- Diffie-Hellman moduli
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/ssh/moduli file contains prime numbers and generators for use by sshd(8) in the Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange key exchange method.
New moduli may be generated with ssh-keygen(1) using a two-step process. An initial candidate generation pass, using ssh-keygen -G, calcu-
lates numbers that are likely to be useful. A second primality testing pass, using ssh-keygen -T, provides a high degree of assurance that
the numbers are prime and are safe for use in Diffie-Hellman operations by sshd(8). This moduli format is used as the output from each pass.
The file consists of newline-separated records, one per modulus, containing seven space-separated fields. These fields are as follows:
timestamp The time that the modulus was last processed as YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
type Decimal number specifying the internal structure of the prime modulus. Supported types are:
0 Unknown, not tested.
2 "Safe" prime; (p-1)/2 is also prime.
4 Sophie Germain; 2p+1 is also prime.
Moduli candidates initially produced by ssh-keygen(1) are Sophie Germain primes (type 4). Further primality testing with
ssh-keygen(1) produces safe prime moduli (type 2) that are ready for use in sshd(8). Other types are not used by OpenSSH.
tests Decimal number indicating the type of primality tests that the number has been subjected to represented as a bitmask of
the following values:
0x00 Not tested.
0x01 Composite number - not prime.
0x02 Sieve of Eratosthenes.
0x04 Probabilistic Miller-Rabin primality tests.
The ssh-keygen(1) moduli candidate generation uses the Sieve of Eratosthenes (flag 0x02). Subsequent ssh-keygen(1) pri-
mality tests are Miller-Rabin tests (flag 0x04).
trials Decimal number indicating the number of primality trials that have been performed on the modulus.
size Decimal number indicating the size of the prime in bits.
generator The recommended generator for use with this modulus (hexadecimal).
modulus The modulus itself in hexadecimal.
When performing Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange, sshd(8) first estimates the size of the modulus required to produce enough Diffie-Hellman out-
put to sufficiently key the selected symmetric cipher. sshd(8) then randomly selects a modulus from /etc/ssh/moduli that best meets the size
requirement.
