Hi,
 
How can I generate a CAcert with DSA? I would like to generate a Cacert
and then a user cert signed with the CA's key. I would like to make some
tests.
 
I have a routine to read certs and validate the signature based on the
RFC 2459 standard, but when I came to the DSA keys I got something
strange. Some nice person sent me a DSA CA certificate and a CRL signed
with the CA. However the public key of the CA is structured differently
from the RFC standard.
 
In the standard a public key is a bitstring encapsulation some integer
values bit the cert I received is different.
 
The one I received consists of a sequence (ASN.1) with 3 integers
followed by a bitstring encapsulating only one integer.
 
Is this format known? Wasn't the RFC standard made to include DSA keys?
 
Please help me out,
 
Regards,
