54.Sh NAME
55.Nm DSA_do_sign ,
56.Nm DSA_do_verify
57.Nd raw DSA signature operations
58.Sh SYNOPSIS
59.In openssl/dsa.h
60.Ft DSA_SIG *
61.Fo DSA_do_sign
62.Fa "const unsigned char *dgst"
63.Fa "int dlen"
64.Fa "DSA *dsa"
65.Fc
66.Ft int
67.Fo DSA_do_verify

70.Fa "DSA_SIG *sig"
71.Fa "DSA *dsa"
72.Fc
73.Sh DESCRIPTION
74.Fn DSA_do_sign
75computes a digital signature on the
76.Fa dlen
77byte message digest
78.Fa dgst
79using the private key
80.Fa dsa
81and returns it in a newly allocated
82.Vt DSA_SIG
83structure.
84.Pp
85.Xr DSA_sign_setup 3
86may be used to precompute part of the signing operation in case
87signature generation is time-critical.
88.Pp
89.Fn DSA_do_verify
90verifies that the signature
91.Fa sig
92matches a given message digest
93.Fa dgst
94of size
95.Fa dgst_len .
96.Fa dsa
97is the signer's public key.
98.Sh RETURN VALUES
99.Fn DSA_do_sign
100returns the signature or
101.Dv NULL
102on error.
103.Fn DSA_do_verify
104returns 1 for a valid signature, 0 for an incorrect signature,
105and -1 on error.
106The error codes can be obtained by
107.Xr ERR_get_error 3 .
