DSA_generate_key(3)						      OpenSSL						       DSA_generate_key(3)

NAME

       DSA_generate_key - generate DSA key pair

SYNOPSIS

	#include <openssl/dsa.h>

	int DSA_generate_key(DSA *a);

DESCRIPTION

       DSA_generate_key() expects a to contain DSA parameters. It generates a new key pair and stores it in a->pub_key and a->priv_key.

       The PRNG must be seeded prior to calling DSA_generate_key().

RETURN VALUE

       DSA_generate_key() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise.  The error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).

HISTORY

       DSA_generate_key() is available since SSLeay 0.8.

NAME

       DSA_new, DSA_free - allocate and free DSA objects

SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/dsa.h>

        DSA* DSA_new(void);

        void DSA_free(DSA *dsa);

DESCRIPTION

       DSA_new() allocates and initializes a DSA structure. It is equivalent to calling DSA_new_method(NULL).

       DSA_free() frees the DSA structure and its components. The values are erased before the memory is returned to the system.

RETURN VALUES

       If the allocation fails, DSA_new() returns NULL and sets an error code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3). Otherwise it returns a
       pointer to the newly allocated structure.

       DSA_free() returns no value.

       DSA_new() and DSA_free() are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
