=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
DSA_set_default_method, DSA_get_default_method,
|
|
DSA_set_method, DSA_new_method, DSA_OpenSSL - select DSA method
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
|
|
|
|
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
|
|
hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
|
|
see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
|
|
|
|
void DSA_set_default_method(const DSA_METHOD *meth);
|
|
|
|
const DSA_METHOD *DSA_get_default_method(void);
|
|
|
|
int DSA_set_method(DSA *dsa, const DSA_METHOD *meth);
|
|
|
|
DSA *DSA_new_method(ENGINE *engine);
|
|
|
|
const DSA_METHOD *DSA_OpenSSL(void);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
|
|
Applications should providers instead of method overrides.
|
|
|
|
A B<DSA_METHOD> specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for DSA
|
|
operations. By modifying the method, alternative implementations
|
|
such as hardware accelerators may be used. IMPORTANT: See the NOTES section for
|
|
important information about how these DSA API functions are affected by the use
|
|
of B<ENGINE> API calls.
|
|
|
|
Initially, the default DSA_METHOD is the OpenSSL internal implementation,
|
|
as returned by DSA_OpenSSL().
|
|
|
|
DSA_set_default_method() makes B<meth> the default method for all DSA
|
|
structures created later.
|
|
B<NB>: This is true only whilst no ENGINE has
|
|
been set as a default for DSA, so this function is no longer recommended.
|
|
This function is not thread-safe and should not be called at the same time
|
|
as other OpenSSL functions.
|
|
|
|
DSA_get_default_method() returns a pointer to the current default
|
|
DSA_METHOD. However, the meaningfulness of this result is dependent on
|
|
whether the ENGINE API is being used, so this function is no longer
|
|
recommended.
|
|
|
|
DSA_set_method() selects B<meth> to perform all operations using the key
|
|
B<rsa>. This will replace the DSA_METHOD used by the DSA key and if the
|
|
previous method was supplied by an ENGINE, the handle to that ENGINE will
|
|
be released during the change. It is possible to have DSA keys that only
|
|
work with certain DSA_METHOD implementations (e.g. from an ENGINE module
|
|
that supports embedded hardware-protected keys), and in such cases
|
|
attempting to change the DSA_METHOD for the key can have unexpected
|
|
results. See L<DSA_meth_new(3)> for information on constructing custom DSA_METHOD
|
|
objects;
|
|
|
|
DSA_new_method() allocates and initializes a DSA structure so that B<engine>
|
|
will be used for the DSA operations. If B<engine> is NULL, the default engine
|
|
for DSA operations is used, and if no default ENGINE is set, the DSA_METHOD
|
|
controlled by DSA_set_default_method() is used.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
DSA_OpenSSL() and DSA_get_default_method() return pointers to the respective
|
|
B<DSA_METHOD>s.
|
|
|
|
DSA_set_default_method() returns no value.
|
|
|
|
DSA_set_method() returns nonzero if the provided B<meth> was successfully set as
|
|
the method for B<dsa> (including unloading the ENGINE handle if the previous
|
|
method was supplied by an ENGINE).
|
|
|
|
DSA_new_method() returns NULL and sets an error code that can be
|
|
obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)> if the allocation
|
|
fails. Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
