Method Nettle.dsa_generate_keypair()
- Method dsa_generate_keypair
array(Gmp.mpz) dsa_generate_keypair(int p_bits, int q_bits, function(int(0..):string(8bit)) rnd)
- Description
Generates a DSA key pair with p_bits number of bits (sometimes referred to as L) for p, and q_bits number of bits (sometimes referred to as N) for q, using the random function rnd.
Valid combinations as per FIPS 186-3 are
p_bits q_bits 1024 160 2048 224 (rejected by some versions of Hogweed) 2048 256 3072 256
- Returns
Array Gmp.mpz 0 The value p, the modulo.
Gmp.mpz 1 The value q, the group order.
Gmp.mpz 2 The value g, the generator.
Gmp.mpz 3 The value y, the public value.
Gmp.mpz 4 The value x, the private value.
