1=pod 2 3=head1 NAME 4 5DSA_sign, DSA_sign_setup, DSA_verify - DSA signatures 6 7=head1 SYNOPSIS 8 9 #include <openssl/dsa.h> 10 11 int DSA_sign(int type, const unsigned char *dgst, int len, 12 unsigned char *sigret, unsigned int *siglen, DSA *dsa); 13 14 int DSA_sign_setup(DSA *dsa, BN_CTX *ctx, BIGNUM **kinvp, 15 BIGNUM **rp); 16 17 int DSA_verify(int type, const unsigned char *dgst, int len, 18 unsigned char *sigbuf, int siglen, DSA *dsa); 19 20=head1 DESCRIPTION 21 22DSA_sign() computes a digital signature on the B<len> byte message 23digest B<dgst> using the private key B<dsa> and places its ASN.1 DER 24encoding at B<sigret>. The length of the signature is places in 25*B<siglen>. B<sigret> must point to DSA_size(B<dsa>) bytes of memory. 26 27DSA_sign_setup() may be used to precompute part of the signing 28operation in case signature generation is time-critical. It expects 29B<dsa> to contain DSA parameters. It places the precomputed values 30in newly allocated B<BIGNUM>s at *B<kinvp> and *B<rp>, after freeing 31the old ones unless *B<kinvp> and *B<rp> are NULL. These values may 32be passed to DSA_sign() in B<dsa-E<gt>kinv> and B<dsa-E<gt>r>. 33B<ctx> is a pre-allocated B<BN_CTX> or NULL. 34 35DSA_verify() verifies that the signature B<sigbuf> of size B<siglen> 36matches a given message digest B<dgst> of size B<len>. 37B<dsa> is the signer's public key. 38 39The B<type> parameter is ignored. 40 41The PRNG must be seeded before DSA_sign() (or DSA_sign_setup()) 42is called. 43 44=head1 RETURN VALUES 45 46DSA_sign() and DSA_sign_setup() return 1 on success, 0 on error. 47DSA_verify() returns 1 for a valid signature, 0 for an incorrect 48signature and -1 on error. The error codes can be obtained by 49L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>. 50 51=head1 CONFORMING TO 52 53US Federal Information Processing Standard FIPS 186 (Digital Signature 54Standard, DSS), ANSI X9.30 55 56=head1 SEE ALSO 57 58L<dsa(3)|dsa(3)>, L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>, L<rand(3)|rand(3)>, 59L<DSA_do_sign(3)|DSA_do_sign(3)> 60 61=head1 HISTORY 62 63DSA_sign() and DSA_verify() are available in all versions of SSLeay. 64DSA_sign_setup() was added in SSLeay 0.8. 65 66=cut 67
