Struct openssl::dsa::Dsa

pub struct Dsa<T>(_, _);

Object representing DSA keys.

A DSA object contains the parameters p, q, and g. There is a private and public key. The values p, g, and q are:

• p: DSA prime parameter
• q: DSA sub-prime parameter
• g: DSA base parameter

These values are used to calculate a pair of asymetrical keys used for signing.

Examples

use openssl::dsa::Dsa;
use openssl::error::ErrorStack;
use openssl::pkey::Private;

fn create_dsa() -> Result<Dsa<Private>, ErrorStack> {
    let sign = Dsa::generate(2048)?;
    Ok(sign)
}

Methods

impl Dsa<Private>

pub fn generate(bits: u32) -> Result<Dsa<Private>, ErrorStack>

Generate a DSA key pair.

Calls DSA_generate_parameters_ex to populate the p, g, and q values. These values are used to generate the key pair with DSA_generate_key.

The bits parameter coresponds to the length of the prime p.

impl Dsa<Public>

pub fn public_key_from_pem(pem: &[u8]) -> Result<Dsa<Public>, ErrorStack>

Decodes a PEM-encoded SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure containing a DSA key.

The input should have a header of -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----.

This corresponds to PEM_read_bio_DSA_PUBKEY.

pub fn public_key_from_der(der: &[u8]) -> Result<Dsa<Public>, ErrorStack>

Decodes a DER-encoded SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure containing a DSA key.

This corresponds to d2i_DSA_PUBKEY.

Methods from Deref<Target = DsaRef<T>>

pub fn public_key_to_pem(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, ErrorStack>

Serialies the public key into a PEM-encoded SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure.

The output will have a header of -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----.

This corresponds to PEM_write_bio_DSA_PUBKEY.

pub fn public_key_to_der(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, ErrorStack>

Serializes the public key into a DER-encoded SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure.

This corresponds to i2d_DSA_PUBKEY.

pub fn size(&self) -> u32

Returns the maximum size of the signature output by self in bytes.

OpenSSL documentation at DSA_size

pub fn p(&self) -> &BigNumRef

Returns the DSA prime parameter of self.

pub fn q(&self) -> &BigNumRef

Returns the DSA sub-prime parameter of self.

pub fn g(&self) -> &BigNumRef

Returns the DSA base parameter of self.
