=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
A B<DSA_METHOD> specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for DSA
|
|
operations. By modifying the method, alternative implementations
|
|
such as hardware accelerators may be used. IMPORTANT: See the NOTES section for
|
|
important information about how these DSA API functions are affected by the use
|
|
of B<ENGINE> API calls.
|
|
|
|
Initially, the default DSA_METHOD is the OpenSSL internal implementation,
|
|
as returned by DSA_OpenSSL().
|
|
|
|
DSA_set_default_method() makes B<meth> the default method for all DSA
|
|
structures created later. B<NB>: This is true only whilst no ENGINE has
|
|
been set as a default for DSA, so this function is no longer recommended.
|
|
|
|
DSA_get_default_method() returns a pointer to the current default
|
|
DSA_METHOD. However, the meaningfulness of this result is dependant on
|
|
whether the ENGINE API is being used, so this function is no longer
|
|
recommended.
|
|
|
|
DSA_set_method() selects B<meth> to perform all operations using the key
|
|
B<rsa>. This will replace the DSA_METHOD used by the DSA key and if the
|
|
previous method was supplied by an ENGINE, the handle to that ENGINE will
|
|
be released during the change. It is possible to have DSA keys that only
|
|
work with certain DSA_METHOD implementations (eg. from an ENGINE module
|
|
that supports embedded hardware-protected keys), and in such cases
|
|
attempting to change the DSA_METHOD for the key can have unexpected
|
|
results.
|
|
|
|
DSA_new_method() allocates and initializes a DSA structure so that B<engine>
|
|
will be used for the DSA operations. If B<engine> is NULL, the default engine
|
|
for DSA operations is used, and if no default ENGINE is set, the DSA_METHOD
|
|
controlled by DSA_set_default_method() is used.

|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
DSA_OpenSSL() and DSA_get_default_method() return pointers to the respective
|
|
B<DSA_METHOD>s.
|
|
|
|
DSA_set_default_method() returns no value.
|
|
|
|
DSA_set_method() returns non-zero if the provided B<meth> was successfully set as
|
|
the method for B<dsa> (including unloading the ENGINE handle if the previous
|
|
method was supplied by an ENGINE).
|
|
|
|
DSA_new_method() returns NULL and sets an error code that can be
|
|
obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)> if the allocation
|
|
fails. Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
As of version 0.9.7, DSA_METHOD implementations are grouped together with other
|
|
algorithmic APIs (eg. RSA_METHOD, EVP_CIPHER, etc) in B<ENGINE> modules. If a
|
|
default ENGINE is specified for DSA functionality using an ENGINE API function,
|
|
that will override any DSA defaults set using the DSA API (ie.
|
|
DSA_set_default_method()). For this reason, the ENGINE API is the recommended way
|
|
to control default implementations for use in DSA and other cryptographic
|
|
algorithms.

=head1 HISTORY
|
|
|
|
DSA_set_default_method(), DSA_get_default_method(), DSA_set_method(),
|
|
DSA_new_method() and DSA_OpenSSL() were added in OpenSSL 0.9.4.
|
|
|
|
DSA_set_default_openssl_method() and DSA_get_default_openssl_method() replaced
|
|
DSA_set_default_method() and DSA_get_default_method() respectively, and
|
|
DSA_set_method() and DSA_new_method() were altered to use B<ENGINE>s rather than
|
|
B<DSA_METHOD>s during development of the engine version of OpenSSL 0.9.6. For
|
|
0.9.7, the handling of defaults in the ENGINE API was restructured so that this
|
|
change was reversed, and behaviour of the other functions resembled more closely
|
|
the previous behaviour. The behaviour of defaults in the ENGINE API now
|
|
transparently overrides the behaviour of defaults in the DSA API without
|
|
requiring changing these function prototypes.
