=head1 DESCRIPTION

These functions implement the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA).  The
generation of shared DSA parameters is described in
L<DSA_generate_parameters(3)|DSA_generate_parameters(3)>;
L<DSA_generate_key(3)|DSA_generate_key(3)> describes how to
generate a signature key. Signature generation and verification are
described in L<DSA_sign(3)|DSA_sign(3)>.

The B<DSA> structure consists of several BIGNUM components.

 struct
        {
        BIGNUM *p;		// prime number (public)
        BIGNUM *q;		// 160-bit subprime, q | p-1 (public)
        BIGNUM *g;		// generator of subgroup (public)
        BIGNUM *priv_key;	// private key x
        BIGNUM *pub_key;	// public key y = g^x
        // ...
        }
 DSA;

In public keys, B<priv_key> is NULL.

Note that DSA keys may use non-standard B<DSA_METHOD> implementations,
either directly or by the use of B<ENGINE> modules. In some cases (eg. an
ENGINE providing support for hardware-embedded keys), these BIGNUM values
will not be used by the implementation or may be used for alternative data
storage. For this reason, applications should generally avoid using DSA
structure elements directly and instead use API functions to query or
modify keys.
