Document DSA and SHA. New function BN_pseudo_rand(). Use BN_prime_checks_size(BN_num_bits(w)) rounds of Miller-Rabin when generating DSA primes (why not use BN_is_prime()?)

DSA_dup_DH - create a DH structure out of DSA structure
Document DSA and SHA. New function BN_pseudo_rand(). Use BN_prime_checks_size(BN_num_bits(w)) rounds of Miller-Rabin when generating DSA primes (why not use BN_is_prime()?)

=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
These are updates/fixes to DH/DSA/RAND docs based on the fixes to the RSA docs. There were a couple of other places where the docs were not synchronised with the API that are now fixed. One or two still remain to be fixed though ...

DH * DSA_dup_DH(const DSA *r);
Document DSA and SHA. New function BN_pseudo_rand(). Use BN_prime_checks_size(BN_num_bits(w)) rounds of Miller-Rabin when generating DSA primes (why not use BN_is_prime()?)
2000-01-27 19:31:26 +00:00
=head1 DESCRIPTION
DSA_dup_DH() duplicates DSA parameters/keys as DH parameters/keys. q
is lost during that conversion, but the resulting DH parameters
contain its length.
=head1 RETURN VALUE
DSA_dup_DH() returns the new B<DH> structure, and NULL on error. The
error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
Update docs: corrections, turn buffer docs into manpage, fold SHA1 pages into one for improved readability, add lhash manpage

=head1 NOTE
Be careful to avoid small subgroup attacks when using this.
Document DSA and SHA. New function BN_pseudo_rand(). Use BN_prime_checks_size(BN_num_bits(w)) rounds of Miller-Rabin when generating DSA primes (why not use BN_is_prime()?)
2000-01-27 19:31:26 +00:00
=head1 SEE ALSO
It makes more sense to refer to specific function manuals than the concept manual when the specific function is refered to in the current manual text. This correction was originally introduced in OpenBSD's tracking of OpenSSL.
