B<dsa> is the signer's public +key. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +DSA_do_sign() returns the signature, NULL on error. DSA_do_verify() +returns 1 for a valid signature, 0 for an incorrect signature and -1 +on error. The error codes can be obtained by +L<ERR_get_error(3)>. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<dsa(3)>, L<ERR_get_error(3)>, L<rand(3)>, +L<DSA_SIG_new(3)>, +L<DSA_sign(3)> + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2000-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
