NAME

DSA_generate_parameters_ex, DSA_generate_parameters - generate DSA parameters

SYNOPSIS

#include <openssl/dsa.h>

int DSA_generate_parameters_ex(DSA *dsa, int bits,
               const unsigned char *seed, int seed_len,
               int *counter_ret, unsigned long *h_ret, BN_GENCB *cb);

Deprecated:

#if OPENSSL_API_COMPAT < 0x00908000L
DSA *DSA_generate_parameters(int bits, unsigned char *seed,
               int seed_len, int *counter_ret, unsigned long *h_ret,
               void (*callback)(int, int, void *), void *cb_arg);
#endif

DESCRIPTION

DSA_generate_parameters_ex() generates primes p and q and a generator g for use in the DSA and stores the result in dsa.

bits is the length of the prime p to be generated. For lengths under 2048 bits, the length of q is 160 bits; for lengths greater than or equal to 2048 bits, the length of q is set to 256 bits.

If seed is NULL, the primes will be generated at random. If seed_len is less than the length of q, an error is returned.

DSA_generate_parameters_ex() places the iteration count in *counter_ret and a counter used for finding a generator in *h_ret, unless these are NULL.

A callback function may be used to provide feedback about the progress of the key generation. If cb is not NULL, it will be called as shown below. For information on the BN_GENCB structure and the BN_GENCB_call function discussed below, refer to BN_generate_prime(3) for further information.

RETURN VALUE

DSA_generate_parameters_ex() returns a 1 on success, or 0 otherwise.

DSA_generate_parameters() returns a pointer to the DSA structure, or NULL if the parameter generation fails.

The error codes can be obtained by BUGS

Seed lengths > 20 are not supported.
