|
|
A \fB\s-1DSA_METHOD\s0\fR specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for \s-1DSA\s0
|
|
operations. By modifying the method, alternative implementations
|
|
such as hardware accelerators may be used. \s-1IMPORTANT:\s0 See the \s-1NOTES\s0 section for
|
|
important information about how these \s-1DSA\s0 \s-1API\s0 functions are affected by the use
|
|
of \fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fR \s-1API\s0 calls.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Initially, the default \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0 is the OpenSSL internal implementation,
|
|
as returned by \fIDSA_OpenSSL()\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIDSA_set_default_method()\fR makes \fBmeth\fR the default method for all \s-1DSA\s0
|
|
structures created later. \fB\s-1NB\s0\fR: This is true only whilst no \s-1ENGINE\s0 has
|
|
been set as a default for \s-1DSA\s0, so this function is no longer recommended.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIDSA_get_default_method()\fR returns a pointer to the current default
|
|
\&\s-1DSA_METHOD\s0. However, the meaningfulness of this result is dependent on
|
|
whether the \s-1ENGINE\s0 \s-1API\s0 is being used, so this function is no longer
|
|
recommended.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIDSA_set_method()\fR selects \fBmeth\fR to perform all operations using the key
|
|
\&\fBrsa\fR. This will replace the \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0 used by the \s-1DSA\s0 key and if the
|
|
previous method was supplied by an \s-1ENGINE\s0, the handle to that \s-1ENGINE\s0 will
|
|
be released during the change. It is possible to have \s-1DSA\s0 keys that only
|
|
work with certain \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0 implementations (eg. from an \s-1ENGINE\s0 module
|
|
that supports embedded hardware-protected keys), and in such cases
|
|
attempting to change the \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0 for the key can have unexpected
|
|
results.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIDSA_new_method()\fR allocates and initializes a \s-1DSA\s0 structure so that \fBengine\fR
|
|
will be used for the \s-1DSA\s0 operations. If \fBengine\fR is \s-1NULL\s0, the default engine
|
|
for \s-1DSA\s0 operations is used, and if no default \s-1ENGINE\s0 is set, the \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0
|
|
controlled by \fIDSA_set_default_method()\fR is used.

|
|
As of version 0.9.7, \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0 implementations are grouped together with other
|
|
algorithmic APIs (eg. \s-1RSA_METHOD\s0, \s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0, etc) in \fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fR modules. If a
|
|
default \s-1ENGINE\s0 is specified for \s-1DSA\s0 functionality using an \s-1ENGINE\s0 \s-1API\s0 function,
|
|
that will override any \s-1DSA\s0 defaults set using the \s-1DSA\s0 \s-1API\s0 (ie.
|
|
\&\fIDSA_set_default_method()\fR). For this reason, the \s-1ENGINE\s0 \s-1API\s0 is the recommended way
|
|
to control default implementations for use in \s-1DSA\s0 and other cryptographic
|
|
algorithms.

\&\fIDSA_set_default_method()\fR, \fIDSA_get_default_method()\fR, \fIDSA_set_method()\fR,

\&\fIDSA_new_method()\fR and \fIDSA_OpenSSL()\fR were added in OpenSSL 0.9.4.
|

\&\fIDSA_set_default_openssl_method()\fR and \fIDSA_get_default_openssl_method()\fR replaced
|
|
\&\fIDSA_set_default_method()\fR and \fIDSA_get_default_method()\fR respectively, and
|
|
\&\fIDSA_set_method()\fR and \fIDSA_new_method()\fR were altered to use \fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fRs rather than
|
|
\&\fB\s-1DSA_METHOD\s0\fRs during development of the engine version of OpenSSL 0.9.6. For
|
|
0.9.7, the handling of defaults in the \s-1ENGINE\s0 \s-1API\s0 was restructured so that this
|
|
change was reversed, and behaviour of the other functions resembled more closely
|
|
the previous behaviour. The behaviour of defaults in the \s-1ENGINE\s0 \s-1API\s0 now
|
|
transparently overrides the behaviour of defaults in the \s-1DSA\s0 \s-1API\s0 without
|
|
requiring changing these function prototypes.
