Function Details

gen_params(bits, callback=<function genparam_callback at 0x83b2994>)

Factory function that generates DSA parameters and instantiates a DSA object from the output.

Parameters:

bits (int) - The length of the prime to be generated. If 'bits' < 512, it is set to 512.
callback (function) - A Python callback object that will be invoked during parameter generation; it usual purpose is to provide visual feedback.

Returns: DSA

instance of DSA.

set_params(p, q, g)

Factory function that instantiates a DSA object with DSA parameters.

Parameters:

p (str) - value of p, a "byte string"
q (str) - value of q, a "byte string"
g (str) - value of g, a "byte string"

Returns: DSA

instance of DSA.

load_params(file, callback=<function passphrase_callback at 0x83b2a04>)

Factory function that instantiates a DSA object with DSA parameters from a file.

Parameters:

file (str) - Names the file (a path) that contains the PEM representation of the DSA parameters.
callback (A Python callable) - A Python callback object that will be invoked if the DSA parameters file is passphrase-protected.

Returns: DSA

instance of DSA.

load_params_bio(bio, callback=<function passphrase_callback at 0x83b2a04>)

Factory function that instantiates a DSA object with DSA parameters from a M2Crypto.BIO object.

Parameters:

bio (M2Crypto.BIO object) - Contains the PEM representation of the DSA parameters.
callback (A Python callable) - A Python callback object that will be invoked if the DSA parameters file is passphrase-protected.

Returns: DSA

instance of DSA.

load_key(file, callback=<function passphrase_callback at 0x83b2a04>)

Factory function that instantiates a DSA object from a PEM encoded DSA key pair.

Parameters:

file (str) - Names the file (a path) that contains the PEM representation of the DSA key pair.
callback (A Python callable) - A Python callback object that will be invoked if the DSA key pair is passphrase-protected.

Returns: DSA

instance of DSA.

load_key_bio(bio, callback=<function passphrase_callback at 0x83b2a04>)

Factory function that instantiates a DSA object from a PEM encoded DSA key pair.

Parameters:

bio (M2Crypto.BIO object) - Contains the PEM representation of the DSA key pair.
callback (A Python callable) - A Python callback object that will be invoked if the DSA key pair is passphrase-protected.

Returns: DSA

instance of DSA.

load_pub_key(file, callback=<function passphrase_callback at 0x83b2a04>)

Factory function that instantiates a DSA_pub object using a DSA public key contained in PEM file. The PEM file must contain the parameters in addition to the public key.

Parameters:

file (str) - Names the file (a path) that contains the PEM representation of the DSA public key.
callback (A Python callable) - A Python callback object that will be invoked should the DSA public key be passphrase-protected.

Returns: DSA_pub

instance of DSA_pub.

load_pub_key_bio(bio, callback=<function passphrase_callback at 0x83b2a04>)

Factory function that instantiates a DSA_pub object using a DSA public key contained in PEM format. The PEM must contain the parameters in addition to the public key.

Parameters:

bio (M2Crypto.BIO object) - Contains the PEM representation of the DSA public key (with params).
callback (A Python callable) - A Python callback object that will be invoked should the DSA public key be passphrase-protected.

Returns: DSA_pub

instance of DSA_pub.
