=head1 NAME

Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA - Digital Signature Algorithm using OpenSSL

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA;

# generate keys and write out to PEM files
  my $dsa = Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA->generate_parameters( 512 );
  $dsa->generate_key;
  $dsa->write_pub_key( $filename );
  $dsa->write_priv_key( $filename );

# using keys from PEM files
  my $dsa_priv = Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA->read_priv_key( $filename );
  my $sig      = $dsa_priv->sign($message);
  my $dsa_pub  = Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA->read_pub_key( $filename );
  my $valid    = $dsa_pub->verify($message, $sig);

# using keys from PEM strings
  my $dsa_priv = Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA->read_priv_key_str( $key_string );
  my $sig      = $dsa_priv->sign($message);
  my $dsa_pub  = Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA->read_pub_key_str( $key_string );
  my $valid    = $dsa_pub->verify($message, $sig);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA implements the DSA
(Digital Signature Algorithm) signature verification system.

It is a thin XS wrapper to the DSA functions contained in the 
OpenSSL crypto library, located at http://www.openssl.org

=head1 CLASS METHODS

=over 4

=item $dsa = Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA->generate_parameters( $bits, $seed );

Returns a new DSA object and generates the p, q and g
parameters necessary to generate keys.

bits is the length of the prime to be generated; the DSS allows a maximum of 1024 bits.

=item $dsa = Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA->read_params( $filename );

Reads in a parameter PEM file and returns a new DSA object with the p, q and g
parameters necessary to generate keys.

=item $dsa = Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA->read_pub_key( $filename );

Reads in a public key PEM file and returns a new DSA object that can be used
to verify DSA signatures.

=item $dsa = Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA->read_priv_key( $filename );

Reads in a private key PEM file and returns a new DSA object that can be used
to sign messages.

=item $dsa = Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA->read_pub_key_str( $key_string );

Reads in a public key PEM string and returns a new DSA object that can be used
to verify DSA signatures.
The string should include the -----BEGIN...----- and -----END...----- lines.

=item $dsa = Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA->read_priv_key_str( $key_string );

Reads in a private key PEM string and returns a new DSA object that can be used
to sign messages.
The string should include the -----BEGIN...----- and -----END...----- lines.

=head1 OBJECT METHODS

=over 4

=item $dsa->generate_key;

Generates private and public keys, assuming that $dsa is the return
value of generate_parameters.

=item $sig = $dsa->sign( $message );

Signs $message, returning the signature.  Note that $meesage cannot exceed
20 characters in length.

$dsa is the signer's private key.

=item $sig_obj = $dsa->do_sign( $message );

Similar to C<sign>, but returns a L<Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA::Signature> object.

=item $valid = $dsa->verify( $message, $sig );

Verifies that the $sig signature for $message is valid.

$dsa is the signer's public key.

Note: it croaks if the underlying library call returns error (-1).

=item $valid = $dsa->do_verify( $message, $sig_obj );

Similar to C<verify>, but uses a L<Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA::Signature> object.

Note: it croaks if the underlying library call returns error (-1).

=item $dsa->write_params( $filename );

Writes the parameters into a PEM file.

=item $dsa->write_pub_key( $filename );

Writes the public key into a PEM file.

=item $dsa->write_priv_key( $filename );

Writes the private key into a PEM file.

=item $p = $dsa->get_p, $dsa->set_p($p)

Gets/sets the prime number in binary format.

=item $q = $dsa->get_q, $dsa->set_q($q)

Gets/sets the subprime number (q | p-1) in binary format.

=item $g = $dsa->get_g, $dsa->set_g($g)

Gets/sets the generator of subgroup in binary format.

=item $pub_key = $dsa->get_pub_key, $dsa->set_pub_key($pub_key)

Gets/sets the public key (y = g^x) in binary format.

=item $priv_key = $dsa->get_priv_key, $dsa->set_priv_key($priv_key)

Gets/sets the private key in binary format.

=head1 NOTES

L<Crpyt::DSA> is a more mature Perl DSA module, but can be difficult to
install, because of the L<Math::Pari> requirement.

Comments, suggestions, and patches welcome.
