19 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
20 | ||
21 | DSA_sign() computes a digital signature on the B<len> byte message | |
22 | digest B<dgst> using the private key B<dsa> and places its ASN.1 DER | |
23 | encoding at B<sigret>. The length of the signature is places in | |
24 | *B<siglen>. B<sigret> must point to DSA_size(B<dsa>) bytes of memory. | |
25 | ||

26 | DSA_sign_setup() is defined only for backward binary compatibility and |
27 | should not be used. | |
28 | Since OpenSSL 1.1.0 the DSA type is opaque and the output of | |
29 | DSA_sign_setup() cannot be used anyway: calling this function will only | |
30 | cause overhead, and does not affect the actual signature | |
31 | (pre-)computation. | |
38e33cef UM |
32 | |
33 | DSA_verify() verifies that the signature B<sigbuf> of size B<siglen> | |
34 | matches a given message digest B<dgst> of size B<len>. | |
35 | B<dsa> is the signer's public key. | |
36 | ||
37 | The B<type> parameter is ignored. | |

39 | The PRNG must be seeded before DSA_sign() (or DSA_sign_setup()) |
40 | is called. | |

42 | =head1 RETURN VALUES |
43 | ||
44 | DSA_sign() and DSA_sign_setup() return 1 on success, 0 on error. | |
45 | DSA_verify() returns 1 for a valid signature, 0 for an incorrect | |
46 | signature and -1 on error. The error codes can be obtained by | |
9b86974e | 47 | L<ERR_get_error(3)>. |
