Generate new DSA Key from OpenSSL Parameters File

See more DSA Examples

Generates a new DSA key from an OpenSSL-created parameters file (DER and PEM formats supported). Examples of using OpenSSL to create parameter files are shown here:

openssl dsaparam -outform DER 1024 <  seedData.txt >dsaparam.der

openssl dsaparam 1024 < seedData.txt >dsaparam.pem

    bool success = false;

    //  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << dsa.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";

    }

    //  To generate a key from PEM, call GenKeyFromParamsPem 
    //  (for an in-memory PEM string) or GenKeyFromParamsFilePem
    //  for a PEM file.

    //  The public and private keys may now be exported to PEM, DER,
    //  and XML formatted files.

    const char *pemStr = 0;
    const char *xmlStr = 0;

    //  First for the public key...
    //  The public key never needs to be encrypted.

    //  Save the public key in PEM format:
    pemStr = dsa.toPublicPem();
    //  This example will not check the return value of SaveText...
    success = dsa.SaveText(pemStr,"dsa_pub.pem");

    //  Save the public key in DER format:
    success = dsa.ToPublicDerFile("dsa_pub.der");

    bool bPublicOnly = true;
    //  Save to XML
    xmlStr = dsa.toXml(bPublicOnly);
    success = dsa.SaveText(pemStr,"dsa_pub.xml");

    //  ------------------------------------
    //  Now for the private key....
    //  ------------------------------------

    //  Unencrypted PEM:
    pemStr = dsa.toPem();
    success = dsa.SaveText(pemStr,"dsa_priv.pem");

    //  Encrypted PEM:
