  171. All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
  172. Applications should instead use \fBEVP_PKEY_paramgen_init\fR\|(3) and
  173. \&\fBEVP_PKEY_keygen\fR\|(3) as described in \s-1\fBEVP_PKEY\-DSA\s0\fR\|(7).
  174. .PP
  175. \&\fBDSA_generate_parameters_ex()\fR generates primes p and q and a generator g
  176. for use in the \s-1DSA\s0 and stores the result in \fBdsa\fR.
  177. .PP
  178. \&\fBbits\fR is the length of the prime p to be generated.
  179. For lengths under 2048 bits, the length of q is 160 bits; for lengths
  180. greater than or equal to 2048 bits, the length of q is set to 256 bits.
  181. .PP
  182. If \fBseed\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 the primes will be generated at random.
  183. If \fBseed_len\fR is less than the length of q, an error is returned.
  184. .PP
  185. \&\fBDSA_generate_parameters_ex()\fR places the iteration count in
  186. *\fBcounter_ret\fR and a counter used for finding a generator in
  187. *\fBh_ret\fR, unless these are \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR.
  188. .PP
  189. A callback function may be used to provide feedback about the progress
  190. of the key generation. If \fBcb\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR, it will be
  191. called as shown below. For information on the \s-1BN_GENCB\s0 structure and the
  192. BN_GENCB_call function discussed below, refer to
  193. \&\fBBN_generate_prime\fR\|(3).
  194. .PP
  195. \&\fBDSA_generate_parameters()\fR is similar to \fBDSA_generate_parameters_ex()\fR but
  196. expects an old-style callback function; see
  197. \&\fBBN_generate_prime\fR\|(3) for information on the old-style callback.
  198. .IP "\(bu" 2
  199. When a candidate for q is generated, \fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 0, m++)\fR is called
  200. (m is 0 for the first candidate).
  201. .IP "\(bu" 2
  202. When a candidate for q has passed a test by trial division,
  203. \&\fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 1, \-1)\fR is called.
  204. While a candidate for q is tested by Miller-Rabin primality tests,
  205. \&\fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 1, i)\fR is called in the outer loop
  206. (once for each witness that confirms that the candidate may be prime);
  207. i is the loop counter (starting at 0).
  208. .IP "\(bu" 2
  209. When a prime q has been found, \fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 2, 0)\fR and
  210. \&\fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 3, 0)\fR are called.
  211. .IP "\(bu" 2
  212. Before a candidate for p (other than the first) is generated and tested,
  213. \&\fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 0, counter)\fR is called.
  214. .IP "\(bu" 2
  215. When a candidate for p has passed the test by trial division,
  216. \&\fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 1, \-1)\fR is called.
  217. While it is tested by the Miller-Rabin primality test,
  218. \&\fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 1, i)\fR is called in the outer loop
  219. (once for each witness that confirms that the candidate may be prime).
  220. i is the loop counter (starting at 0).
  221. .IP "\(bu" 2
  222. When p has been found, \fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 2, 1)\fR is called.
  223. .IP "\(bu" 2
  224. When the generator has been found, \fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 3, 1)\fR is called.

  227. \&\fBDSA_generate_parameters_ex()\fR returns a 1 on success, or 0 otherwise.
  228. The error codes can be obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
