NAME
EVP_SIGNATURE-DSA - The EVP_PKEY DSA signature implementation
DESCRIPTION
Support for computing DSA signatures. The signature produced with EVP_PKEY_sign(3) is DER encoded ASN.1 in the form described in RFC 3279, section 2.2.2. See EVP_PKEY-DSA(7) for information related to DSA keys.
As part of FIPS 140-3 DSA is not longer FIPS approved for key generation and signature validation, but is still allowed for signature verification.
Algorithm Names
In this list, names are grouped together to signify that they are the same algorithm having multiple names. This also includes the OID in canonical decimal form (which means that they are possible to fetch if the caller has a mere OID which came out in this form after a call to OBJ_obj2txt(3)).

DSA signature schemes with diverse message digest algorithms. They are all supported explicitly fetched with EVP_PKEY_sign_init_ex2(3) and EVP_PKEY_sign_message_init(3).
Signature Parameters
The following signature parameters can be set using EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(). This may be called after EVP_PKEY_sign_init() or EVP_PKEY_verify_init(), and before calling EVP_PKEY_sign() or EVP_PKEY_verify(). They may also be set using EVP_PKEY_sign_init_ex() or EVP_PKEY_verify_init_ex().
- "digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
- "properties" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>
These two are not supported with the DSA signature schemes that already include a message digest algorithm, See "Algorithm Names" above.
- "nonce-type" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_NONCE_TYPE) <unsigned integer>
- "key-check" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_FIPS_KEY_CHECK) <integer>
- "digest-check" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_FIPS_DIGEST_CHECK) <integer>
- "sign-check" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_FIPS_SIGN_CHECK) <int>
The settable parameters are described in provider-signature(7).
The following signature parameters can be retrieved using EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params().
- "algorithm-id" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_ALGORITHM_ID) <octet string>
- "digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
- "nonce-type" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_NONCE_TYPE) <unsigned integer>
- "fips-indicator" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR) <integer>
The gettable parameters are described in provider-signature(7).

HISTORY
DSA Key generation and signature generation are no longer FIPS approved in OpenSSL 3.4. See "FIPS indicators" in fips_module(7) for more information.
