DSA_SIGN(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual DSA_SIGN(3) NAME DSA_sign, DSA_sign_setup, DSA_verify - DSA signatures SYNOPSIS #include <openssl/dsa.h> 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 DSA_sign() 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 placed in *siglen. sigret must point to DSA_size(dsa) bytes of memory. DSA_sign_setup() may be used to precompute part of the signing operation in case signature generation is time-critical. It expects dsa to contain DSA parameters. It places the precomputed values in newly allocated BIGNUMs at *kinvp and *rp, after freeing the old ones unless kinvp and rp are NULL. These values may be passed to DSA_sign() in dsa->kinv and dsa->r. ctx is a pre-allocated BN_CTX or NULL. 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. RETURN VALUES DSA_sign() and DSA_sign_setup() return 1 on success or 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).
