The bits of security is defined in NIST SP800-57. Currently, BN_security_bits() support two types of asymmetric algorithms: the FFC (Finite Field Cryptography) and IFC (Integer Factorization Cryptography). For FFC, e.g., DSA and DH, both parameters <b>L</b> and <b>N</b> are used to decide the bits of security, where <b>L</b> is the size of the public key and <b>N</b> is the size of the private key. For IFC, e.g., RSA, only <b>L</b> is used and it's commonly considered to be the key size (modulus).</p> <h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1> <p>Number of security bits.</p> <h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1> <p>ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) is not covered by the BN_security_bits() function.
