    DSA is the NIST approved digital signature algorithm. The owner
    of a key publishes the public part of the key:<br>
    
    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>

        <tt><font size=+1>struct DSApub<br>

    </table>
    This part can be used for verifying signatures (with <i>dsaverify</i>)
    created by the owner. The owner signs (with <i>dsasign</i>) using his
    private key:<br>
    
    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>

        <tt><font size=+1>struct DSApriv<br>

            DSApub &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;pub;<br>
             mpint &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*secret; // (decryption key)<br>
            
        </table>
        };<br>
        
        <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
        </font></tt>
        
    </table>
    Keys are generated using <i>dsagen</i>. If <i>dsagen</i>&#8217;s argument <i>opub</i> is
    <tt><font size=+1>nil</font></tt>, a key is created using a new <tt><font size=+1>p</font></tt> and <tt><font size=+1>q</font></tt> generated by <i>DSAprimes</i>
    (see <a href="../man3/prime.html"><i>prime</i>(3)</a>). Otherwise, <tt><font size=+1>p</font></tt> and <tt><font size=+1>q</font></tt> are copied from the old key.
    
    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
    
    <i>Dsaprivtopub</i> returns a newly allocated copy of the public key
    corresponding to the private key.

    The routines <i>dsapuballoc</i>, <i>dsapubfree</i>, <i>dsaprivalloc</i>, and <i>dsaprivfree</i>
    are provided to manage key storage.

    <i>Dsaverify</i> returns 0 if the signature is valid and &ndash;1 if not.
