EVP_SIGNATURE-DSA

NAME

EVP_SIGNATURE-DSA - The EVP_PKEY DSA signature implementation

DESCRIPTION

Support for computing DSA signatures. The signature produced with EVP_PKEY_sign(3) is DER encoded ASN.1 in the form described in RFC 3279, section 2.2.2. See EVP_PKEY-DSA(7) for information related to DSA keys.

Signature Parameters

The following signature parameters can be set using EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(). This may be called after EVP_PKEY_sign_init() or EVP_PKEY_verify_init(), and before calling EVP_PKEY_sign() or EVP_PKEY_verify().

  • "digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>

  • "properties" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>

    The settable parameters are described in provider-signature(7).

The following signature parameters can be retrieved using EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params().

  • "algorithm-id" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_ALGORITHM_ID) <octet string>

  • "digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>

    The gettable parameters are described in provider-signature(7).
