.. hazmat::
DSA
===
.. module:: cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.dsa
`DSA`_ is a `public-key`_ algorithm for signing messages.
Generation
~~~~~~~~~~
.. function:: generate_private_key(key_size, backend)
.. versionadded:: 0.5
Generate a DSA private key from the given key size. This function will
generate a new set of parameters and key in one step.
:param int key_size: The length of the modulus in :term:`bits`. It should
be either 1024, 2048 or 3072. For keys generated in 2015 this should
be `at least 2048`_ (See page 41). Note that some applications
(such as SSH) have not yet gained support for larger key sizes
specified in FIPS 186-3 and are still restricted to only the
1024-bit keys specified in FIPS 186-2.
:param backend: An instance of
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.backends.interfaces.DSABackend`.
:return: An instance of
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.dsa.DSAPrivateKey`.
:raises cryptography.exceptions.UnsupportedAlgorithm: This is raised if
the provided ``backend`` does not implement
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.backends.interfaces.DSABackend`
.. function:: generate_parameters(key_size, backend)
.. versionadded:: 0.5
Generate DSA parameters using the provided ``backend``.
:param int key_size: The length of :attr:`~DSAParameterNumbers.q`. It
should be either 1024, 2048 or 3072. For keys generated in 2015 this
should be `at least 2048`_ (See page 41). Note that some applications
(such as SSH) have not yet gained support for larger key sizes
specified in FIPS 186-3 and are still restricted to only the
1024-bit keys specified in FIPS 186-2.
:param backend: An instance of
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.backends.interfaces.DSABackend`.
:return: An instance of
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.dsa.DSAParameters`.
:raises cryptography.exceptions.UnsupportedAlgorithm: This is raised if
the provided ``backend`` does not implement
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.backends.interfaces.DSABackend`
Signing
~~~~~~~
Using a :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.dsa.DSAPrivateKey`
instance.
.. doctest::
>>> from cryptography.hazmat.backends import default_backend
>>> from cryptography.hazmat.primitives import hashes
>>> from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric import dsa
>>> private_key = dsa.generate_private_key(
... key_size=1024,
... backend=default_backend()
... )
>>> data = b"this is some data I'd like to sign"
>>> signature = private_key.sign(
... data,
... hashes.SHA256()
... )
The ``signature`` is a ``bytes`` object, whose contents is DER encoded as
described in :rfc:`3279`. This can be decoded using
:func:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.utils.decode_dss_signature`.
If your data is too large to be passed in a single call, you can hash it
separately and pass that value using
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.utils.Prehashed`.
.. doctest::
>>> from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric import utils
>>> chosen_hash = hashes.SHA256()
>>> hasher = hashes.Hash(chosen_hash, default_backend())
>>> hasher.update(b"data & ")
>>> hasher.update(b"more data")
>>> digest = hasher.finalize()
>>> sig = private_key.sign(
... digest,
... utils.Prehashed(chosen_hash)
... )
Verification
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Verification is performed using a
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.dsa.DSAPublicKey` instance.
You can get a public key object with
:func:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.load_pem_public_key`,
:func:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.load_der_public_key`,
:meth:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.dsa.DSAPublicNumbers.public_key`
, or
:meth:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.dsa.DSAPrivateKey.public_key`.
.. doctest::
>>> public_key = private_key.public_key()
>>> public_key.verify(
... signature,
... data,
... hashes.SHA256()
... )
``verify()`` takes the signature in the same format as is returned by
``sign()``.
``verify()`` will raise an :class:`~cryptography.exceptions.InvalidSignature`
exception if the signature isn't valid.
If your data is too large to be passed in a single call, you can hash it
separately and pass that value using
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.utils.Prehashed`.
.. doctest::
>>> chosen_hash = hashes.SHA256()
>>> hasher = hashes.Hash(chosen_hash, default_backend())
>>> hasher.update(b"data & ")
>>> hasher.update(b"more data")
>>> digest = hasher.finalize()
>>> public_key.verify(
... sig,
... digest,
... utils.Prehashed(chosen_hash)
... )
