+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+A
+.Vt DSA_METHOD
+object contains pointers to the functions used for DSA operations.
+By default, the internal implementation returned by
+.Fn DSA_OpenSSL
+is used.
+By selecting another method, alternative implementations
+such as hardware accelerators may be used.
+.Pp
+.Fn DSA_set_default_method
+selects
+.Fa meth
+as the default method for all
+.Vt DSA
+structures created later.
+.Pp
+.Fn DSA_get_default_method
+returns a pointer to the current default method.
+.Pp
+.Fn DSA_set_method
+selects
+.Fa meth
+to perform all operations using the key
+.Fa dsa .
+This replaces the
+.Vt DSA_METHOD
+used by the DSA key.
+It is possible to have DSA keys that only work with certain
+.Vt DSA_METHOD
+implementations,
+and in such cases attempting to change the
+.Vt DSA_METHOD
+for the key can have unexpected results.
+.Pp
+.Fn DSA_new_method
+allocates and initializes a
+.Vt DSA
+structure.
+The
+.Fa engine
+argument is ignored and
+the default method controlled by
+.Fn DSA_set_default_method
+is used.
+.Pp
+The
+.Vt DSA_METHOD
+structure is defined as follows:
+.Bd -literal
+struct {
+ /* name of the implementation */
+ const char *name;
+ /* sign */
+ DSA_SIG *(*dsa_do_sign)(const unsigned char *dgst, int dlen,
+ DSA *dsa);
+ /* pre-compute k^-1 and r */
+ int (*dsa_sign_setup)(DSA *dsa, BN_CTX *ctx_in, BIGNUM **kinvp,
+ BIGNUM **rp);
+ /* verify */
+ int (*dsa_do_verify)(const unsigned char *dgst, int dgst_len,
+ DSA_SIG *sig, DSA *dsa);
+ /* called at DSA_new */
+ int (*init)(DSA *DSA);
+ /* called at DSA_free */
+ int (*finish)(DSA *DSA);
+ int flags;
+} DSA_METHOD;
+.Ed
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Fn DSA_OpenSSL
+and
+.Fn DSA_get_default_method
+return pointers to the respective
+.Vt DSA_METHOD .
+.Pp
+.Fn DSA_set_method
+returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
+Currently, it cannot fail.
+.Pp
+.Fn DSA_new_method
+returns
+.Dv NULL
+and sets an error code that can be obtained by
+.Xr ERR_get_error 3
+if the allocation fails.
+Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
