NAME
DSA_do_sign, DSA_do_verify — raw DSA signature operations
Synopsis
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
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
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).

HISTORY
DSA_do_sign() and DSA_do_verify() were added in OpenSSL 0.9.3.
