=head1 DESCRIPTION
These functions implement the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA). The
generation of shared DSA parameters is described in
L<DSA_generate_parameters(3)|DSA_generate_parameters(3)>;
L<DSA_generate_key(3)|DSA_generate_key(3)> describes how to
generate a signature key. Signature generation and verification are
described in L<DSA_sign(3)|DSA_sign(3)>.
The B<DSA> structure consists of several BIGNUM components.
struct
{
BIGNUM *p; // prime number (public)
BIGNUM *q; // 160-bit subprime, q | p-1 (public)
BIGNUM *g; // generator of subgroup (public)
BIGNUM *priv_key; // private key x
BIGNUM *pub_key; // public key y = g^x
// ...
}
DSA;
In public keys, B<priv_key> is NULL.
