201 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
202 These functions implement the Digital Signature Algorithm (\s-1DSA\s0). The
203 generation of shared \s-1DSA\s0 parameters is described in
204 \&\fIDSA_generate_parameters\fR\|(3);
205 \&\fIDSA_generate_key\fR\|(3) describes how to
206 generate a signature key. Signature generation and verification are
207 described in \fIDSA_sign\fR\|(3).
209 The \fB\s-1DSA\s0\fR structure consists of several \s-1BIGNUM\s0 components.
214 \& BIGNUM *p; // prime number (public)
215 \& BIGNUM *q; // 160\-bit subprime, q | p\-1 (public)
216 \& BIGNUM *g; // generator of subgroup (public)
217 \& BIGNUM *priv_key; // private key x
218 \& BIGNUM *pub_key; // public key y = g^x
224 In public keys, \fBpriv_key\fR is \s-1NULL\s0.
226 Note that \s-1DSA\s0 keys may use non-standard \fB\s-1DSA_METHOD\s0\fR implementations,
227 either directly or by the use of \fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fR modules. In some cases (eg. an
228 \&\s-1ENGINE\s0 providing support for hardware-embedded keys), these \s-1BIGNUM\s0 values
229 will not be used by the implementation or may be used for alternative data
230 storage. For this reason, applications should generally avoid using \s-1DSA\s0
231 structure elements directly and instead use \s-1API\s0 functions to query or
