class OpenSSL::PKey::DSA

Parent:: cPKey

DSA, the Digital Signature Algorithm, is specified in NIST's FIPS 186-3. It is an asymmetric public key algorithm that may be used similar to e.g. RSA. Please note that for OpenSSL versions prior to 1.0.0 the digest algorithms OpenSSL::Digest::DSS (equivalent to SHA) or OpenSSL::Digest::DSS1 (equivalent to SHA-1) must be used for issuing signatures with a DSA key using OpenSSL::PKey#sign. Starting with OpenSSL 1.0.0, digest algorithms are no longer restricted, any Digest may be used for signing.

private? → true | false Show source

static VALUE
ossl_dsa_is_private(VALUE self)
{
    EVP_PKEY *pkey;

    GetPKeyDSA(self, pkey);

    return (DSA_PRIVATE(self, pkey->pkey.dsa)) ? Qtrue : Qfalse;
}

Indicates whether this DSA instance has a private key associated with it or not. The private key may be retrieved with DSA#private_key.

public? → true | false Show source

static VALUE
ossl_dsa_is_public(VALUE self)
{
    EVP_PKEY *pkey;

    GetPKeyDSA(self, pkey);

    return (pkey->pkey.dsa->pub_key) ? Qtrue : Qfalse;
}

Indicates whether this DSA instance has a public key associated with it or not. The public key may be retrieved with #public_key.

public_key → aDSA Show source

static VALUE
ossl_dsa_to_public_key(VALUE self)
{
    EVP_PKEY *pkey;
    DSA *dsa;
    VALUE obj;

    GetPKeyDSA(self, pkey);

        ossl_raise(eDSAError, NULL);
    }
    return obj;
}

Returns a new DSA instance that carries just the public key information. If the current instance has also private key information, this will no longer be present in the new instance. This feature is helpful for publishing the public key information without leaking any of the private information.

Example

dsa = OpenSSL::PKey::DSA.new(2048) # has public and private information
pub_key = dsa.public_key # has only the public part available
pub_key_der = pub_key.to_der # it's safe to publish this

                  &buf_len, pkey->pkey.dsa)) { /* type is ignored (0) */
        ossl_raise(eDSAError, NULL);
    }
    rb_str_set_len(str, buf_len);

    return str;
}

Computes and returns the DSA signature of string, where string is expected to be an already-computed message digest of the original input data. The signature is issued using the private key of this DSA instance.

Parameters

string is a message digest of the original input data to be signed

Example

dsa = OpenSSL::PKey::DSA.new(2048)
doc = "Sign me"
digest = OpenSSL::Digest::SHA1.digest(doc)
sig = dsa.syssign(digest)

sysverify(digest, sig) → true | false Show source

static VALUE
ossl_dsa_verify(VALUE self, VALUE digest, VALUE sig)
{
    EVP_PKEY *pkey;
    int ret;

    GetPKeyDSA(self, pkey);
    StringValue(digest);
    StringValue(sig);
    /* type is ignored (0) */
    ret = DSA_verify(0, (unsigned char *)RSTRING_PTR(digest), RSTRING_LENINT(digest),
                     (unsigned char *)RSTRING_PTR(sig), RSTRING_LENINT(sig), pkey->pkey.dsa);
    if (ret < 0) {
        ossl_raise(eDSAError, NULL);
    }
    else if (ret == 1) {
        return Qtrue;
    }

    return Qfalse;
}

Verifies whether the signature is valid given the message digest input. It does so by validating sig using the public key of this DSA instance.

Parameters

digest is a message digest of the original input data to be signed
sig is a DSA signature value

Example

dsa = OpenSSL::PKey::DSA.new(2048)
doc = "Sign me"
digest = OpenSSL::Digest::SHA1.digest(doc)
sig = dsa.syssign(digest)
puts dsa.sysverify(digest, sig) # => true

    unsigned char *p;
    long len;
    VALUE str;

    GetPKeyDSA(self, pkey);
    if(DSA_HAS_PRIVATE(pkey->pkey.dsa))
        i2d_func = (int(*)_((DSA*,unsigned char**)))i2d_DSAPrivateKey;
    else
        i2d_func = i2d_DSA_PUBKEY;
    if((len = i2d_func(pkey->pkey.dsa, NULL)) <= 0)
        ossl_raise(eDSAError, NULL);
    str = rb_str_new(0, len);
    p = (unsigned char *)RSTRING_PTR(str);
    if(i2d_func(pkey->pkey.dsa, &p) < 0)
        ossl_raise(eDSAError, NULL);
    ossl_str_adjust(str, p);

    return str;
}

Encodes this DSA to its DER encoding.
