=head1 DESCRIPTION

d2i_DSAPublicKey() and i2d_DSAPublicKey() decode and encode the DSA public key
components structure.

d2i_DSA_PUBKEY() and i2d_DSA_PUBKEY() decode and encode an DSA public key using
a SubjectPublicKeyInfo (certificate public key) structure.

d2i_DSA_PUBKEY_bio(), d2i_DSA_PUBKEY_fp(), i2d_DSA_PUBKEY_bio() and
i2d_DSA_PUBKEY_fp() are similar to d2i_DSA_PUBKEY() and i2d_DSA_PUBKEY()
except they decode or encode using a B<BIO> or B<FILE> pointer.

d2i_DSAPrivateKey(), i2d_DSAPrivateKey() decode and encode the DSA private key
components.

d2i_DSAparams(), i2d_DSAparams() decode and encode the DSA parameters using
a B<Dss-Parms> structure as defined in RFC2459.

d2i_DSA_SIG(), i2d_DSA_SIG() decode and encode a DSA signature using a
B<Dss-Sig-Value> structure as defined in RFC2459.

The usage of all of these functions is similar to the d2i_X509() and
i2d_X509() described in the L<d2i_X509(3)> manual page.

=head1 NOTES

The B<DSA> structure passed to the private key encoding functions should have
all the private key components present.

The data encoded by the private key functions is unencrypted and therefore 
offers no private key security.

The B<DSA_PUBKEY> functions should be used in preference to the B<DSAPublicKey>
functions when encoding public keys because they use a standard format.

The B<DSAPublicKey> functions use a non standard format which is a
B<SEQUENCE> consisting of the B<p>, B<q>, B<g> and B<pub_key> fields
respectively.

The B<DSAPrivateKey> functions also use a non standard structure consisting
consisting of a SEQUENCE containing the B<p>, B<q>, B<g> and B<pub_key> and
B<priv_key> fields respectively.
