DSA_SIGN(3ossl) OpenSSL DSA_SIGN(3ossl)
NAME
DSA_sign, DSA_sign_setup, DSA_verify - DSA signatures
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can
be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable
version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):
int DSA_sign(int type, const unsigned char *dgst, int len,
unsigned char *sigret, unsigned int *siglen, DSA *dsa);
int DSA_sign_setup(DSA *dsa, BN_CTX *ctx, BIGNUM **kinvp, BIGNUM **rp);
int DSA_verify(int type, const unsigned char *dgst, int len,
unsigned char *sigbuf, int siglen, DSA *dsa);
DESCRIPTION
All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
Applications should instead use EVP_PKEY_sign_init(3),
EVP_PKEY_sign(3), EVP_PKEY_verify_init(3) and EVP_PKEY_verify(3).
DSA_sign(3) computes a digital signature on the len byte message digest
dgst using the private key dsa and places its ASN.1 DER encoding at
sigret. The length of the signature is places in *siglen. sigret must
point to DSA_size(dsa) bytes of memory.
DSA_sign_setup() is defined only for backward binary compatibility and
should not be used. Since OpenSSL 1.1.0 the DSA type is opaque and the
output of DSA_sign_setup() cannot be used anyway: calling this function
will only cause overhead, and does not affect the actual signature
(pre-)computation.
DSA_verify() verifies that the signature sigbuf of size siglen matches
a given message digest dgst of size len. dsa is the signer's public
key.
The type parameter is ignored.
The random generator must be seeded when DSA_sign(3) (or
DSA_sign_setup()) is called. If the automatic seeding or reseeding of
the OpenSSL CSPRNG fails due to external circumstances (see RAND(7)),
the operation will fail.
RETURN VALUES
DSA_sign(3) and DSA_sign_setup() return 1 on success, 0 on error.
DSA_verify() returns 1 for a valid signature, 0 for an incorrect
signature and -1 on error. The error codes can be obtained by
ERR_get_error(3).
