Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ DSASignatureFormat

DSA Signature Format.

The DSA signature format used by Crypto++ is as defined by IEEE P1363. OpenSSL, Java and .Net use the DER format, and OpenPGP uses the OpenPGP format.

Function Documentation

◆ DSAConvertSignatureFormat()

size_t DSAConvertSignatureFormat ( byte buffer,
size_t  bufferSize,
DSASignatureFormat  toFormat,
const byte signature,
size_t  signatureLen,
DSASignatureFormat  fromFormat 
)

Converts between signature encoding formats.

Parameters
bufferbyte buffer for the converted signature encoding
bufferSizethe length of the converted signature encoding buffer
toFormatthe source signature format
signaturebyte buffer for the existing signature encoding
signatureLenthe length of the existing signature encoding buffer
fromFormatthe source signature format
Returns
the number of bytes written during encoding

This function converts between these formats, and returns length of signature in the target format. If toFormat == DSA_P1363, then bufferSize must equal publicKey.SignatureLength() or verifier.SignatureLength().

If the destination buffer is too small then the output of the encoded r and s will be truncated. Be sure to provide an adequately sized buffer and check the return value for the number of bytes written.
