DSA Key Notes

A DSA key is made up of a number of individual parameters. When calling on_create_key the Key* properties are populated with a new private and public key.

After calling sign the public key must be sent to the recipient along with hash_signature so they may perform signature verification. Likewise you must obtain the public key along with hash_signature in order to perform signature verification.

The public key consists of the following parameters:

The class also includes the key_public_key property which holds the PEM formatted public key for ease of use. This is helpful if you are in control of both signature creation and verification process. When sending the public key to a recipient note that not all implementations will support using the PEM formatted value in key_public_key in which case the individual parameters must be sent.

The private key consists of the following parameters:

The class also include the key_private_key property which holds the PEM formatted private key for ease of use. This is helpful for storing the private key more easily.
