<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p><code>DSA_sign()</code> computes a digital signature on the <strong>len</strong> byte message
digest <strong>dgst</strong> using the private key <strong>dsa</strong> and places its ASN.1 DER
encoding at <strong>sigret</strong>. The length of the signature is places in
*<strong>siglen</strong>. <strong>sigret</strong> must point to DSA_size(<strong>dsa</strong>) bytes of memory.</p>
<p><code>DSA_sign_setup()</code> 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
<code>DSA_sign_setup()</code> cannot be used anyway: calling this function will only
cause overhead, and does not affect the actual signature
(pre-)computation.</p>
<p><code>DSA_verify()</code> verifies that the signature <strong>sigbuf</strong> of size <strong>siglen</strong>
matches a given message digest <strong>dgst</strong> of size <strong>len</strong>.
<strong>dsa</strong> is the signer's public key.</p>
<p>The <strong>type</strong> parameter is ignored.</p>
<p>The random generator must be seeded when <code>DSA_sign()</code> (or DSA_sign_setup())
is called.
If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL CSPRNG fails due to
external circumstances (see <em>RAND(7)</em>), the operation will fail.</p>
<p>

<h1><a name="return_values">RETURN VALUES</a></h1>
<p><code>DSA_sign()</code> and <code>DSA_sign_setup()</code> return 1 on success, 0 on error.
<code>DSA_verify()</code> returns 1 for a valid signature, 0 for an incorrect
signature and -1 on error. The error codes can be obtained by
<em>ERR_get_error(3)</em>.</p>
