DSA_do_sign(3)                      OpenSSL                     DSA_do_sign(3)




NAME

       DSA_do_sign, DSA_do_verify - raw DSA signature operations


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):

        DSA_SIG *DSA_do_sign(const unsigned char *dgst, int dlen, DSA *dsa);

        int DSA_do_verify(const unsigned char *dgst, int dgst_len,
                          DSA_SIG *sig, 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_do_sign() computes a digital signature on the len byte message
       digest dgst using the private key dsa and returns it in a newly
       allocated DSA_SIG structure.

       DSA_sign_setup(3) may be used to precompute part of the signing
       operation in case signature generation is time-critical.

       DSA_do_verify() verifies that the signature sig matches a given message
       digest dgst of size len.  dsa is the signer's public key.


RETURN VALUES

       DSA_do_sign() returns the signature, NULL on error.  DSA_do_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).


SEE ALSO

       DSA_sign(3)


HISTORY

       All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
