Member Function Documentation

◆ ValidateGroup()

bool DL_GroupParameters_DSA::ValidateGroup ( RandomNumberGenerator & rng,
unsigned int level ) const
virtual

Check the group for errors.

Parameters
rngRandomNumberGenerator for objects which use randomized testing
levellevel of thoroughness
Returns
true if the tests succeed, false otherwise

ValidateGroup() also checks that the lengths of p and q are allowed by the DSA standard.

There are four levels of thoroughness:

  • 0 - using this object won't cause a crash or exception
  • 1 - this object will probably function, and encrypt, sign, other operations correctly
  • 2 - ensure this object will function correctly, and perform reasonable security checks
  • 3 - perform reasonable security checks, and do checks that may take a long time

Level 0 does not require a RandomNumberGenerator. A NullRNG() can be used for level 0. Level 1 may not check for weak keys and such. Levels 2 and 3 are recommended.

Implements DL_GroupParameters< T >.

◆ GenerateRandom()

void DL_GroupParameters_DSA::GenerateRandom ( RandomNumberGenerator & rng,
const NameValuePairs & alg )
virtual

Generate a random key or crypto parameters.

Parameters
rnga RandomNumberGenerator to produce keying material
algadditional initialization parameters

NameValuePairs can be ModulusSize alone; or Modulus, SubgroupOrder, and SubgroupGenerator. ModulusSize must be between DSA::MIN_PRIME_LENGTH and DSA::MAX_PRIME_LENGTH, and divisible by DSA::PRIME_LENGTH_MULTIPLE.

An example of changing the modulus size using NameValuePairs is shown below.

 AlgorithmParameters params = MakeParameters
   (Name::ModulusSize(), 2048);

 DL_GroupParameters_DSA groupParams;
 groupParams.GenerateRandom(prng, params);
Exceptions
KeyingErrif a key can't be generated or algorithm parameters are invalid.

Reimplemented from GeneratableCryptoMaterial.

◆ IsValidPrimeLength()

static bool DL_GroupParameters_DSA::IsValidPrimeLength ( unsigned int pbits)
inlinestatic

Check the prime length for errors.

Parameters
pbitsnumber of bits in the prime number
Returns
true if the tests succeed, false otherwise
