.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn DSA_do_sign
computes a digital signature on the
.Fa dlen
byte message digest
.Fa dgst
using the private key
.Fa dsa
and returns it in a newly allocated
.Vt DSA_SIG
structure.
.Pp
.Xr DSA_sign_setup 3
may be used to precompute part of the signing operation in case
signature generation is time-critical.
.Pp
.Fn DSA_do_verify
verifies that the signature
.Fa sig
matches a given message digest
.Fa dgst
of size
.Fa dgst_len .
.Fa dsa
is the signer's public key.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn DSA_do_sign
returns the signature or
.Dv NULL
on error.
.Fn DSA_do_verify
returns 1 for a valid signature, 0 for an incorrect signature,
and -1 on error.
The error codes can be obtained by
.Xr ERR_get_error 3 .

.Sh HISTORY
.Fn DSA_do_sign
and
.Fn DSA_do_verify
were added in OpenSSL 0.9.3.
