.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
A \fB\s-1DSA_METHOD\s0\fR specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for \s-1DSA\s0
operations. By modifying the method, alternative implementations
such as hardware accelerators may be used. \s-1IMPORTANT:\s0 See the \s-1NOTES\s0 section for
important information about how these \s-1DSA API\s0 functions are affected by the use
of \fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fR \s-1API\s0 calls.
.PP
Initially, the default \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0 is the OpenSSL internal implementation,
as returned by \fIDSA_OpenSSL()\fR.
.PP
\&\fIDSA_set_default_method()\fR makes \fBmeth\fR the default method for all \s-1DSA\s0
structures created later.
\&\fB\s-1NB\s0\fR: This is true only whilst no \s-1ENGINE\s0 has
been set as a default for \s-1DSA,\s0 so this function is no longer recommended.
This function is not thread-safe and should not be called at the same time
as other OpenSSL functions.
.PP
\&\fIDSA_get_default_method()\fR returns a pointer to the current default
\&\s-1DSA_METHOD.\s0 However, the meaningfulness of this result is dependent on
whether the \s-1ENGINE API\s0 is being used, so this function is no longer
recommended.
.PP
\&\fIDSA_set_method()\fR selects \fBmeth\fR to perform all operations using the key
\&\fBrsa\fR. This will replace the \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0 used by the \s-1DSA\s0 key and if the
previous method was supplied by an \s-1ENGINE,\s0 the handle to that \s-1ENGINE\s0 will
be released during the change. It is possible to have \s-1DSA\s0 keys that only
work with certain \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0 implementations (e.g. from an \s-1ENGINE\s0 module
that supports embedded hardware-protected keys), and in such cases
attempting to change the \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0 for the key can have unexpected
results. See DSA_meth_new for information on constructing custom \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0
objects;
.PP
\&\fIDSA_new_method()\fR allocates and initializes a \s-1DSA\s0 structure so that \fBengine\fR
will be used for the \s-1DSA\s0 operations. If \fBengine\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 the default engine
for \s-1DSA\s0 operations is used, and if no default \s-1ENGINE\s0 is set, the \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0
controlled by \fIDSA_set_default_method()\fR is used.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fIDSA_OpenSSL()\fR and \fIDSA_get_default_method()\fR return pointers to the respective
\&\fB\s-1DSA_METHOD\s0\fRs.
.PP
\&\fIDSA_set_default_method()\fR returns no value.
.PP
\&\fIDSA_set_method()\fR returns nonzero if the provided \fBmeth\fR was successfully set as
the method for \fBdsa\fR (including unloading the \s-1ENGINE\s0 handle if the previous
method was supplied by an \s-1ENGINE\s0).
.PP
\&\fIDSA_new_method()\fR returns \s-1NULL\s0 and sets an error code that can be
obtained by \fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3) if the allocation
fails. Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
