.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
These functions implement the Digital Signature Algorithm (\s-1DSA\s0).  The
generation of shared \s-1DSA\s0 parameters is described in
\&\fIDSA_generate_parameters\fR\|(3);
\&\fIDSA_generate_key\fR\|(3) describes how to
generate a signature key. Signature generation and verification are
described in \fIDSA_sign\fR\|(3).
.PP
The \fB\s-1DSA\s0\fR structure consists of several \s-1BIGNUM\s0 components.
.PP
.Vb 10
\& 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;
.Ve
.PP
In public keys, \fBpriv_key\fR is \s-1NULL\s0.
.PP
Note that \s-1DSA\s0 keys may use non-standard \fB\s-1DSA_METHOD\s0\fR implementations,
either directly or by the use of \fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fR modules. In some cases (eg. an
\&\s-1ENGINE\s0 providing support for hardware-embedded keys), these \s-1BIGNUM\s0 values
will not be used by the implementation or may be used for alternative data
storage. For this reason, applications should generally avoid using \s-1DSA\s0
structure elements directly and instead use \s-1API\s0 functions to query or
modify keys.
