Method: OpenSSL::PKey::DSA#syssign

Defined in:
ossl_pkey_dsa.c

#syssign(string) ⇒ aString

Computes and returns the DSA signature of string, where string is expected to be an already-computed message digest of the original input data. The signature is issued using the private key of this DSA instance.

Parameters

  • string is a message digest of the original input data to be signed.

Example

dsa = OpenSSL::PKey::DSA.new(2048) doc = “Sign me” digest = OpenSSL::Digest.digest(‘SHA1’, doc) sig = dsa.syssign(digest)

Returns:

  • (aString)
