DSA_generate_key(3)          OpenSSL          DSA_generate_key(3)



NAME

       DSA_generate_key - generate DSA key pair


LIBRARY

       libcrypto, -lcrypto


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/dsa.h>

        int DSA_generate_key(DSA *a);



DESCRIPTION

       DSA_generate_key() expects a to contain DSA parameters. It
       generates a new key pair and stores it in a->pub_key and
       a->priv_key.

       The PRNG must be seeded prior to calling DSA_gener-
       ate_key().


RETURN VALUE

       DSA_generate_key() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise.  The
       error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
