<h1 id="NAME">NAME</h1>

<p>DSA_sign, DSA_sign_setup, DSA_verify - DSA signatures</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code>#include &lt;openssl/dsa.h&gt;</code></pre>

<p>The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be hidden entirely by defining <b>OPENSSL_API_COMPAT</b> with a suitable version value, see <a href="../man7/openssl_user_macros.html">openssl_user_macros(7)</a>:</p>

<pre><code>int DSA_sign(int type, const unsigned char *dgst, int len,
             unsigned char *sigret, unsigned int *siglen, DSA *dsa);

int DSA_sign_setup(DSA *dsa, BN_CTX *ctx, BIGNUM **kinvp, BIGNUM **rp);

int DSA_verify(int type, const unsigned char *dgst, int len,
               unsigned char *sigbuf, int siglen, DSA *dsa);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. Applications should instead use <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_sign_init.html">EVP_PKEY_sign_init(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_sign.html">EVP_PKEY_sign(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_verify_init.html">EVP_PKEY_verify_init(3)</a> and <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_verify.html">EVP_PKEY_verify(3)</a>.</p>

<p>DSA_sign() computes a digital signature on the <b>len</b> byte message digest <b>dgst</b> using the private key <b>dsa</b> and places its ASN.1 DER encoding at <b>sigret</b>. The length of the signature is places in *<b>siglen</b>. <b>sigret</b> must point to DSA_size(<b>dsa</b>) bytes of memory.</p>

<p>DSA_sign_setup() is defined only for backward binary compatibility and should not be used. Since OpenSSL 1.1.0 the DSA type is opaque and the output of DSA_sign_setup() cannot be used anyway: calling this function will only cause overhead, and does not affect the actual signature (pre-)computation.</p>

<p>DSA_verify() verifies that the signature <b>sigbuf</b> of size <b>siglen</b> matches a given message digest <b>dgst</b> of size <b>len</b>. <b>dsa</b> is the signer&#39;s public key.</p>

<p>The <b>type</b> parameter is ignored.</p>

<p>The random generator must be seeded when DSA_sign() (or DSA_sign_setup()) is called. If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL CSPRNG fails due to external circumstances (see <a href="../man7/RAND.html">RAND(7)</a>), the operation will fail.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>DSA_sign() and DSA_sign_setup() return 1 on success, 0 on error. DSA_verify() returns 1 for a valid signature, 0 for an incorrect signature and -1 on error. The error codes can be obtained by <a href="../man3/ERR_get_error.html">ERR_get_error(3)</a>.</p>
