  169. .PP
  170. A \fB\s-1DSA_METHOD\s0\fR specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for \s-1DSA\s0
  171. operations. By modifying the method, alternative implementations
  172. such as hardware accelerators may be used. \s-1IMPORTANT:\s0 See the \s-1NOTES\s0 section for
  173. important information about how these \s-1DSA API\s0 functions are affected by the use
  174. of \fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fR \s-1API\s0 calls.
  175. .PP
  176. Initially, the default \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0 is the OpenSSL internal implementation,
  177. as returned by \fBDSA_OpenSSL()\fR.
  178. .PP
  179. \&\fBDSA_set_default_method()\fR makes \fBmeth\fR the default method for all \s-1DSA\s0
  180. structures created later.
  181. \&\fB\s-1NB\s0\fR: This is true only whilst no \s-1ENGINE\s0 has
  182. been set as a default for \s-1DSA,\s0 so this function is no longer recommended.
  183. This function is not thread-safe and should not be called at the same time
  184. as other OpenSSL functions.
  185. .PP
  186. \&\fBDSA_get_default_method()\fR returns a pointer to the current default
  187. \&\s-1DSA_METHOD.\s0 However, the meaningfulness of this result is dependent on
  188. whether the \s-1ENGINE API\s0 is being used, so this function is no longer
  189. recommended.
  190. .PP
  191. \&\fBDSA_set_method()\fR selects \fBmeth\fR to perform all operations using the key
  192. \&\fBrsa\fR. This will replace the \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0 used by the \s-1DSA\s0 key and if the
  193. previous method was supplied by an \s-1ENGINE,\s0 the handle to that \s-1ENGINE\s0 will
  194. be released during the change. It is possible to have \s-1DSA\s0 keys that only
  195. work with certain \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0 implementations (e.g. from an \s-1ENGINE\s0 module
  196. that supports embedded hardware-protected keys), and in such cases
  197. attempting to change the \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0 for the key can have unexpected
  198. results. See \fBDSA_meth_new\fR\|(3) for information on constructing custom \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0
  199. objects;
  200. .PP
  201. \&\fBDSA_new_method()\fR allocates and initializes a \s-1DSA\s0 structure so that \fBengine\fR
  202. will be used for the \s-1DSA\s0 operations. If \fBengine\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 the default engine
  203. for \s-1DSA\s0 operations is used, and if no default \s-1ENGINE\s0 is set, the \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0
  204. controlled by \fBDSA_set_default_method()\fR is used.
  205. .SH "RETURN VALUES"

  207. \&\fBDSA_OpenSSL()\fR and \fBDSA_get_default_method()\fR return pointers to the respective

  209. .PP
  210. \&\fBDSA_set_default_method()\fR returns no value.
  211. .PP
  212. \&\fBDSA_set_method()\fR returns nonzero if the provided \fBmeth\fR was successfully set as
  213. the method for \fBdsa\fR (including unloading the \s-1ENGINE\s0 handle if the previous
  214. method was supplied by an \s-1ENGINE\s0).
  215. .PP
  216. \&\fBDSA_new_method()\fR returns \s-1NULL\s0 and sets an error code that can be
  217. obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3) if the allocation
  218. fails. Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
