NAME

6       DSA_generate_key - generate DSA key pair

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       DSA_generate_key() expects a to contain DSA parameters. It generates a
15       new key pair and stores it in a->pub_key and a->priv_key.
16
17       The PRNG must be seeded prior to calling DSA_generate_key().
18

RETURN VALUE

20       DSA_generate_key() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise.  The error codes
21       can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
