DESCRIPTION
       These functions implement the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA).	 The
       generation of shared DSA parameters is described in
       DSA_generate_parameters(3); DSA_generate_key(3) describes how to
       generate a signature key. Signature generation and verification are
       described in DSA_sign(3).

       The DSA structure consists of several BIGNUM components.

	struct
	       {
	       BIGNUM *p;	       // prime number (public)
	       BIGNUM *q;	       // 160-bit subprime, q ⎪ p-1 (public)
	       BIGNUM *g;	       // generator of subgroup (public)
	       BIGNUM *priv_key;       // private key x
	       BIGNUM *pub_key;	       // public key y = g^x
	       // ...
	       }
	DSA;

       In public keys, priv_key is NULL.
