I've been reading through Schneier book and
noticed that you have (at least) 2 public key
crypto options, RSA and DSA.  i noticed that
openssl supports both RSA and DSA but when i
figured out how to get mod_ssl to work with
DSA.

under "apache-modssl" on MARC, i found the
following message: (which i edited)

Currently you can only use RSA Private Keys with mod_ssl, so you've no choice.
Although in the near future support for DSA/DH cert/keys will be supported...

Is this still the case?

I'm trying to build a client and server in perl
that uses SSL, but doesn't have to use RSA.  Has
anyone else created a SSL client and server pair
that doesn't use RSA?

If DSA support isn't in mod_ssl right now, are
there any plans to add it?  Would adding DSA
support be  non-trivial?

Thanks-

Ryan Erwin
