Detailed Description

template<class H>
class DSA2< H >

DSA signature scheme.

Template Parameters

H	HashTransformation derived class

The class is named DSA2 instead of DSA for backwards compatibility because DSA was a non-template class.

DSA default method GenerateRandom uses a 2048-bit modulus and a 224-bit subgoup by default. The modulus can be changed using the following code:

 DSA::PrivateKey privateKey;
 privateKey.GenerateRandomWithKeySize(prng, 2048);

The subgroup order can be changed using the following code:

 AlgorithmParameters params = MakeParameters
   (Name::ModulusSize(), 2048)
   (Name::SubgroupOrderSize(), 256);

 DSA::PrivateKey privateKey;
 privateKey.GenerateRandom(prng, params);

Since

Crypto++ 1.0 for DSA, Crypto++ 5.6.2 for DSA2, Crypto++ 6.1 for 2048-bit modulus.
