.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "DSA_SIGN 3" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
DSA_sign, DSA_sign_setup, DSA_verify - DSA signatures Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/dsa.h> .Ve

The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be hidden entirely by defining \s-1OPENSSL_API_COMPAT\s0 with a suitable version value, see openssl_user_macros\|(7):

.Vb 2 int DSA_sign(int type, const unsigned char *dgst, int len, unsigned char *sigret, unsigned int *siglen, DSA *dsa); \& int DSA_sign_setup(DSA *dsa, BN_CTX *ctx, BIGNUM **kinvp, BIGNUM **rp); \& int DSA_verify(int type, const unsigned char *dgst, int len, unsigned char *sigbuf, int siglen, DSA *dsa); .Ve

Header "DESCRIPTION" All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. Applications should instead use EVP_PKEY_sign_init\|(3), EVP_PKEY_sign\|(3), \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_init\|(3) and EVP_PKEY_verify\|(3).

\fBDSA_sign() computes a digital signature on the len byte message digest dgst using the private key dsa and places its \s-1ASN.1 DER\s0 encoding at sigret. The length of the signature is places in *siglen. sigret must point to DSA_size(dsa) bytes of memory.

\fBDSA_sign_setup() is defined only for backward binary compatibility and should not be used. Since OpenSSL 1.1.0 the \s-1DSA\s0 type is opaque and the output of \fBDSA_sign_setup() cannot be used anyway: calling this function will only cause overhead, and does not affect the actual signature (pre-)computation.

\fBDSA_verify() verifies that the signature sigbuf of size siglen matches a given message digest dgst of size len. \fBdsa is the signer's public key.

The type parameter is ignored.

The random generator must be seeded when DSA_sign() (or DSA_sign_setup()) is called. If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL \s-1CSPRNG\s0 fails due to external circumstances (see \s-1RAND\s0\|(7)), the operation will fail.

Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBDSA_sign() and DSA_sign_setup() return 1 on success, 0 on error. \fBDSA_verify() returns 1 for a valid signature, 0 for an incorrect signature and -1 on error. The error codes can be obtained by \fBERR_get_error\|(3). Header "CONFORMING TO" \s-1US\s0 Federal Information Processing Standard \s-1FIPS186-4\s0 (Digital Signature Standard, \s-1DSS\s0), \s-1ANSI X9.30\s0 Header "SEE ALSO" \fBDSA_new\|(3), ERR_get_error\|(3), RAND_bytes\|(3), \fBDSA_do_sign\|(3), \s-1RAND\s0\|(7) Header "HISTORY" All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
