15        #Encryption: Bob (received ciphertext $ct)
16        my $priv = Crypt::PK::DSA->new('Bob_priv_dsa1.der');

61   generate_key
62       Uses Yarrow-based cryptographically strong random number generator
63       seeded with random data taken from "/dev/random" (UNIX) or
64       "CryptGenRandom" (Win32).
65

FUNCTIONS

286   dsa_encrypt
287       DSA based encryption as implemented by libtomcrypt. See method
288       "encrypt" below.
289
290        my $ct = dsa_encrypt($pub_key_filename, $message);
291        #or
292        my $ct = dsa_encrypt(\$buffer_containing_pub_key, $message);
293        #or
294        my $ct = dsa_encrypt($pub_key_filename, $message, $hash_name);
295
296        #NOTE: $hash_name can be 'SHA1' (DEFAULT), 'SHA256' or any other hash supported by Crypt::Digest
297
298       Encryption works similar to the Crypt::PK::ECC encryption whereas
299       shared DSA key is computed, and the hash of the shared key XOR'ed
300       against the plaintext forms the ciphertext.
301
302   dsa_decrypt
303       DSA based decryption as implemented by libtomcrypt. See method
304       "decrypt" below.
305
306        my $pt = dsa_decrypt($priv_key_filename, $ciphertext);
307        #or
308        my $pt = dsa_decrypt(\$buffer_containing_priv_key, $ciphertext);
309
310   dsa_sign_message
311       Generate DSA signature. See method "sign_message" below.
312
313        my $sig = dsa_sign_message($priv_key_filename, $message);
314        #or

343        ### let's have:
344        # DSA private key in PEM format - dsakey.priv.pem
345        # DSA public key in PEM format  - dsakey.pub.pem
346        # data file to be signed - input.data
347
348   Sign by OpenSSL, verify by Crypt::PK::DSA
349       Create signature (from commandline):
350
351        openssl dgst -sha1 -sign dsakey.priv.pem -out input.sha1-dsa.sig input.data
352
353       Verify signature (Perl code):
354
355        use Crypt::PK::DSA;
356        use Crypt::Digest 'digest_file';
357        use File::Slurp 'read_file';

362        print $valid ? "SUCCESS" : "FAILURE";
363
364   Sign by Crypt::PK::DSA, verify by OpenSSL
365       Create signature (Perl code):
366
367        use Crypt::PK::DSA;
368        use Crypt::Digest 'digest_file';
369        use File::Slurp 'write_file';

373        write_file("input.sha1-dsa.sig", {binmode=>':raw'}, $signature);
374
375       Verify signature (from commandline):
376
377        openssl dgst -sha1 -verify dsakey.pub.pem -signature input.sha1-dsa.sig input.data
378
379   Keys generated by Crypt::PK::DSA
380       Generate keys (Perl code):
381

391        write_file("dsakey-passwd.priv.pem", $pkdsa->export_key_pem('private', 'secret'));
392
393       Use keys by OpenSSL:
