The length of the signature is places in *\fBsiglen\fR. \fBsigret\fR must point to DSA_size(\fBdsa\fR) bytes of memory. .PP \&\fBDSA_sign_setup()\fR may be used to precompute part of the signing operation in case signature generation is time-critical. It expects \&\fBdsa\fR to contain \s-1DSA\s0 parameters. It places the precomputed values in newly allocated \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fRs at *\fBkinvp\fR and *\fBrp\fR, after freeing the old ones unless *\fBkinvp\fR and *\fBrp\fR are \s-1NULL.\s0 These values may be passed to \fBDSA_sign()\fR in \fBdsa\->kinv\fR and \fBdsa\->r\fR. \&\fBctx\fR is a pre-allocated \fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0\fR or \s-1NULL.\s0 The precomputed values from \fBDSA_sign_setup()\fR \fB\s-1MUST NOT\s0 be used\fR for more than one signature: using the same \fBdsa\->kinv\fR and \&\fBdsa\->r\fR pair twice under the same private key on different plaintexts will result in permanently exposing the \s-1DSA\s0 private key. .PP \&\fBDSA_verify()\fR verifies that the signature \fBsigbuf\fR of size \fBsiglen\fR matches a given message digest \fBdgst\fR of size \fBlen\fR. \&\fBdsa\fR is the signer's public key. .PP The \fBtype\fR parameter is ignored. .PP The \s-1PRNG\s0 must be seeded before \fBDSA_sign()\fR (or \fBDSA_sign_setup()\fR) is called. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fBDSA_sign()\fR and \fBDSA_sign_setup()\fR return 1 on success, 0 on error. \&\fBDSA_verify()\fR returns 1 for a valid signature, 0 for an incorrect signature and \-1 on error.
