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).


SEE ALSO

       dsa(3), err(3), rand(3), DSA_generate_parameters(3)


HISTORY

       DSA_generate_key() is available since SSLeay 0.8.
