11 int DSA_sign(int type, const unsigned char *dgst, int len,
12 unsigned char *sigret, unsigned int *siglen, DSA *dsa);
14 int DSA_sign_setup(DSA *dsa, BN_CTX *ctx, BIGNUM **kinvp,
17 int DSA_verify(int type, const unsigned char *dgst, int len,
18 unsigned char *sigbuf, int siglen, DSA *dsa);
22 DSA_sign() computes a digital signature on the B<len> byte message
23 digest B<dgst> using the private key B<dsa> and places its ASN.1 DER
24 encoding 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.
27 DSA_sign_setup() may be used to precompute part of the signing
28 operation in case signature generation is time-critical. It expects
29 B<dsa> to contain DSA parameters. It places the precomputed values
30 in newly allocated B<BIGNUM>s at *B<kinvp> and *B<rp>, after freeing
31 the old ones unless *B<kinvp> and *B<rp> are NULL. These values may
32 be passed to DSA_sign() in B<dsa-E<gt>kinv> and B<dsa-E<gt>r>.
33 B<ctx> is a pre-allocated B<BN_CTX> or NULL.
35 DSA_verify() verifies that the signature B<sigbuf> of size B<siglen>
36 matches a given message digest B<dgst> of size B<len>.
37 B<dsa> is the signer's public key.
39 The B<type> parameter is ignored.
41 The PRNG must be seeded before DSA_sign() (or DSA_sign_setup())
46 DSA_sign() and DSA_sign_setup() return 1 on success, 0 on error.
47 DSA_verify() returns 1 for a valid signature, 0 for an incorrect
48 signature and -1 on error. The error codes can be obtained by
49 L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.

63 DSA_sign() and DSA_verify() are available in all versions of SSLeay.
64 DSA_sign_setup() was added in SSLeay 0.8.
