=head1 DESCRIPTION

All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
Applications and extension implementations should instead use the
OSSL_PROVIDER APIs.

The B<DSA_METHOD> type is a structure used for the provision of custom DSA
implementations. It provides a set of functions used by OpenSSL for the
implementation of the various DSA capabilities.

DSA_meth_new() creates a new B<DSA_METHOD> structure. It should be given a
unique B<name> and a set of B<flags>. The B<name> should be a NULL terminated
string, which will be duplicated and stored in the B<DSA_METHOD> object. It is
the callers responsibility to free the original string. The flags will be used
during the construction of a new B<DSA> object based on this B<DSA_METHOD>. Any
new B<DSA> object will have those flags set by default.

DSA_meth_dup() creates a duplicate copy of the B<DSA_METHOD> object passed as a
parameter. This might be useful for creating a new B<DSA_METHOD> based on an
existing one, but with some differences.

DSA_meth_free() destroys a B<DSA_METHOD> structure and frees up any memory
associated with it.

DSA_meth_get0_name() will return a pointer to the name of this DSA_METHOD. This
is a pointer to the internal name string and so should not be freed by the
caller. DSA_meth_set1_name() sets the name of the DSA_METHOD to B<name>. The
string is duplicated and the copy is stored in the DSA_METHOD structure, so the
caller remains responsible for freeing the memory associated with the name.

DSA_meth_get_flags() returns the current value of the flags associated with this
DSA_METHOD. DSA_meth_set_flags() provides the ability to set these flags.

The functions DSA_meth_get0_app_data() and DSA_meth_set0_app_data() provide the
ability to associate implementation specific data with the DSA_METHOD. It is
the application's responsibility to free this data before the DSA_METHOD is
freed via a call to DSA_meth_free().

DSA_meth_get_sign() and DSA_meth_set_sign() get and set the function used for
creating a DSA signature respectively. This function will be
called in response to the application calling DSA_do_sign() (or DSA_sign()). The
parameters for the function have the same meaning as for DSA_do_sign().

DSA_meth_get_sign_setup() and DSA_meth_set_sign_setup() get and set the function
used for precalculating the DSA signature values B<k^-1> and B<r>. This function
will be called in response to the application calling DSA_sign_setup(). The
parameters for the function have the same meaning as for DSA_sign_setup().

DSA_meth_get_verify() and DSA_meth_set_verify() get and set the function used
for verifying a DSA signature respectively. This function will be called in
response to the application calling DSA_do_verify() (or DSA_verify()). The
parameters for the function have the same meaning as for DSA_do_verify().

DSA_meth_get_mod_exp() and DSA_meth_set_mod_exp() get and set the function used
for computing the following value:

 rr = a1^p1 * a2^p2 mod m

This function will be called by the default OpenSSL method during verification
of a DSA signature. The result is stored in the B<rr> parameter. This function
may be NULL.

DSA_meth_get_bn_mod_exp() and DSA_meth_set_bn_mod_exp() get and set the function
used for computing the following value:

 r = a ^ p mod m

This function will be called by the default OpenSSL function for
DSA_sign_setup(). The result is stored in the B<r> parameter. This function
may be NULL.

DSA_meth_get_init() and DSA_meth_set_init() get and set the function used
for creating a new DSA instance respectively. This function will be
called in response to the application calling DSA_new() (if the current default
DSA_METHOD is this one) or DSA_new_method(). The DSA_new() and DSA_new_method()
functions will allocate the memory for the new DSA object, and a pointer to this
newly allocated structure will be passed as a parameter to the function. This
function may be NULL.

DSA_meth_get_finish() and DSA_meth_set_finish() get and set the function used
for destroying an instance of a DSA object respectively. This function will be
called in response to the application calling DSA_free(). A pointer to the DSA
to be destroyed is passed as a parameter. The destroy function should be used
for DSA implementation specific clean up. The memory for the DSA itself should
not be freed by this function. This function may be NULL.

DSA_meth_get_paramgen() and DSA_meth_set_paramgen() get and set the function
used for generating DSA parameters respectively. This function will be called in
response to the application calling DSA_generate_parameters_ex() (or
DSA_generate_parameters()). The parameters for the function have the same
meaning as for DSA_generate_parameters_ex().

DSA_meth_get_keygen() and DSA_meth_set_keygen() get and set the function
used for generating a new DSA key pair respectively. This function will be
called in response to the application calling DSA_generate_key(). The parameter
for the function has the same meaning as for DSA_generate_key().

=head1 RETURN VALUES

DSA_meth_new() and DSA_meth_dup() return the newly allocated DSA_METHOD object
or NULL on failure.

DSA_meth_get0_name() and DSA_meth_get_flags() return the name and flags
associated with the DSA_METHOD respectively.

All other DSA_meth_get_*() functions return the appropriate function pointer
that has been set in the DSA_METHOD, or NULL if no such pointer has yet been
set.

DSA_meth_set1_name() and all DSA_meth_set_*() functions return 1 on success or
0 on failure.
