The functions with underscore (e.g., _gnutls_dh_compute) are not part of API, and are only exported for the cavs testing, so I guess we can freely update. The challenge would be including Q in the known group information (algorithms/groups), and passing it down to nettle. That could work well for TLS1.3. However, the question is if FIPS mandates this test, what do we do under TLS1.3 when a non-known group is negotiated. Any suggestions? Dropping the connection may be too drastic, so it may even make sense to disable DHE under TLS1.2.
