.SH ARGUMENTS
Packit aea12f
.IP "gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo" 12
Packit aea12f
is a public key algorithm

Packit aea12f
is a security parameter
Packit aea12f
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
Packit aea12f
When generating private and public key pairs a difficult question
Packit aea12f
is which size of "bits" the modulus will be in RSA and the group size
Packit aea12f
in DSA. The easy answer is 1024, which is also wrong. This function
Packit aea12f
will convert a human understandable security parameter to an
Packit aea12f
appropriate size for the specific algorithm.
Packit aea12f
.SH "RETURNS"
Packit aea12f
The number of bits, or (0).
