Hi all,

The openssl gendsa command supports passphrase protected generation of
dsa keys.

I'm doing the dsa parameter and key generation, using the C API, using
DSA_generate_parameters(), DSA_generate_key() and DSA_print_fp()

Now, I'd like to write, store the dsa keys and/or parameters in a
passphrase protected fashion like the openssl gendsa command provides.

I could not find any information in the docs about how to handle that.
Have I been overlooking the obvious?


In the meantime, a search separate from the openssl online documentation for the above C API's, made me find:

 https://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/pem.html

where I found:

    PEM_write_DSAPrivateKey()

which seems to be what I want.

In order to make that page "findable" from the manual pages for the C API's DSA_generate_parameters(), DSA_generate_key() and DSA_print_fp(), I'd suggest to include a link in the respective "SEE ALSO" sections.

Sincerely,

Erik Leunissen

I'd be very grateful for directions about how to handle such passphrase
protection with the C interface.

Thanks in advance,

Erik Leunissen.
