#include <openssl/dsa.h> void DSA_set_default_method(DSA_METHOD *meth); DSA_METHOD *DSA_get_default_method(void); DSA_METHOD *DSA_set_method(DSA *dsa, DSA_METHOD *meth); DSA *DSA_new_method(DSA_METHOD *meth); DSA_METHOD *DSA_OpenSSL(void); DESCRIPTIONA DSA_METHOD specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for DSA operations. By modifying the method, alternative implementations such as hardware accelerators may be used.Initially, the default is to use the OpenSSL internal implementation. DSA_OpenSSL() returns a pointer to that method. DSA_set_default_method() makes meth the default method for all DSA structures created later. DSA_get_default_method() returns a pointer to the current default method. DSA_set_method() selects meth for all operations using the structure dsa. DSA_new_method() allocates and initializes a DSA structure so that method will be used for the DSA operations. If method is NULL, the default method is used.

DSA_set_method() returns a pointer to the DSA_METHOD previously associated with dsa. DSA_new_method() returns NULL and sets an error code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3) if the allocation fails. Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure. SEE ALSOdsa(3), DSA_new(3)HISTORYDSA_set_default_method(), DSA_get_default_method(), DSA_set_method(), DSA_new_method() and DSA_OpenSSL() were added in OpenSSL 0.9.4.
