1=pod 2 3=head1 NAME 4 5DSA_size, DSA_bits, DSA_security_bits - get DSA signature size, key bits or security bits 6 7=head1 SYNOPSIS 8 9 #include <openssl/dsa.h> 10 11The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be 12hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value, 13see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>: 14 15 int DSA_bits(const DSA *dsa); 16 17 int DSA_size(const DSA *dsa); 18 19 int DSA_security_bits(const DSA *dsa); 20 21=head1 DESCRIPTION 22 23All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. 24Applications should instead use L<EVP_PKEY_get_bits(3)>, 25L<EVP_PKEY_get_security_bits(3)> and L<EVP_PKEY_get_size(3)>. 26 27DSA_bits() returns the number of bits in key I<dsa>: this is the number 28of bits in the I<p> parameter. 29 30DSA_size() returns the maximum size of an ASN.1 encoded DSA signature 31for key I<dsa> in bytes. It can be used to determine how much memory must 32be allocated for a DSA signature. 33 34DSA_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given I<dsa> 35key. See L<BN_security_bits(3)>. 36 37=head1 RETURN VALUES 38 39DSA_security_bits() returns the number of security bits in the key, or -1 if 40I<dsa> doesn't hold any key parameters. 41 42DSA_bits() returns the number of bits in the key, or -1 if I<dsa> doesn't 43hold any key parameters. 44 45DSA_size() returns the signature size in bytes, or -1 if I<dsa> doesn't 46hold any key parameters. 47 48=head1 SEE ALSO 49 50L<EVP_PKEY_get_bits(3)>, 51L<EVP_PKEY_get_security_bits(3)>, 52L<EVP_PKEY_get_size(3)>, 53L<DSA_new(3)>, L<DSA_sign(3)> 54 55=head1 HISTORY 56 57All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0. 58 59=head1 COPYRIGHT 60 61Copyright 2000-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
